I cant remember the articles in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s who paraded Manchester City as the paragons of virtue for bearing the oft parodied £67 million pound debt as a corner stone of British footballs righteousness. Now, unfortunately, it seems that in becoming one of the least indebted clubs in the world we have to now shoulder the burden of civil rights atrocities and even worse - we have only gone and poisoned the whole fucking planet - what cunts we are.
Time to set up a break away team I feel - we will wear the black of St Marks and insist that banks extend incredible lines of credit so that they earn bonus after bonus and we will call ourselves City United Northern Twats FC

"And so Manchester City became owned by the deposed Thai prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra; a good guy to play golf with, said the club's then-CEO Garry Cook. As Amnesty International pointed out, he was much less engaging when it came to summary executions of suspected criminals. His funds soon proved inadequate to City's needs, and so they traded up to the ruling family of Abu Dhabi."
"Of course, football owners have rarely been card-carrying socialists, but it's one thing to have reactionary views in the boardroom, quite another to be in a position to enforce them on a whole state. The league champions are autocratic rulers of a country whose wealth comes through the continued consumption of the fossil fuels dangerously heating our planet."
"Most of the league's owners are part of the 1% whose avarice is a defining issue of our time, spending money with impunity while national exchequers are emptied and the public realm gets degraded in an age of austerity."
