Man City are being cast as villains but are they actually the heroes who are taking on the Red Cartel? Send your views on this and any other subjects (like England, maybe) to [email protected] Do you want ALL money out of football or just Man City’s? Interesting call for City fans to boycott the club ( from a United fan who has never been to Manchester, of course ). As a Blue, my standpoint is that I am fully on board with boycotting City, getting City’s owners out of the game etc as yes, money is corrupting football and has been for my whole life.
What I can’t get on board with though is punishing City being the end point, rather than the starting point. If we want big money out of the game, if we all agree that money is ruining football, then let’s get it all out. City are a symptom of the problem, not a cause and making City poor again won’t solve any of the problems people claim to care about.
If fans of other clubs widened their focus and started campaigning for all big money to be removed from the game (including their own clubs, tv money and all the rest) it might make them sound less full of shit. It’s easy to have a pop at City fans on a daily basis, call us cowards and demand we do things that you are not prepared to do yourselves. It’s not as easy to follow your complaints through to their logical conclusion and demand big money is removed from your own clubs too.
I fully support getting money out of the game – let’s get together on that a.
