City is like those films where ugly kids grow up, get plastic surgery and they're still the nerd everyone knew. Only how they have giant tits and arse implants. You still ain't going to be Halle Berry.

Why are the City fans claiming he has moved for the money? Surely Shiekh Mansoor could have at least matched any offer Man Utd made him to stop him leaving if that was the case.

They have this weird dual-identity where on one level they still see themselves as a small club as opposed to a bottomless pit of money that's paid for their success.

Because they can't get their heads around the fact Berrada has ditched them for us, so it has to be money motivated, which is ironic in the extreme, I have also read on there that he is coming here as some sort of spy.

This has clearly shaken quite alot of them.

Never heard of him until 20 minutes ago, likely I'll never hear of him again. A big Meh for me.
Meh. He will be easily replaced.

He will know what confidentiality clauses and penalties mean. And not that concerned about what Utd will gain. It is like hiring a high end pilot to drive a skoda.

I don't get the move though, he might get more money or climb to a higher role, but with the CFG as a whole, far more scope there long term.

Ah well, cheers for whatever part he had in signing Haaland, and all cheerio.
Can't wait for the rags to offer their support in our case against the PL - after all, their own CEO stands accused.

He'll have signed an NDA, so how's that going to work? No comments all the way?

For any lurking United fans:

Your downfall has been fantastic to watch, your squad, staff and whole organization is shit beyond belief and it will take several more years of your life before before you will see the fruits of any good recruitment at boardroom level. And even then we are ignoring the likely fact that he is just another decent executive you hire primarily to fill the pockets of your beloved owners while your shithole of a stadium falls apart

I like to think that this guy - who has been told his entire time at City how they're the big club in Manchester, how we're all rags and worthless, how City are THE club to be at - watched as his employer won the treble and nobody gave a shit, and during this he watched the Glazers saying "we might sell a portion of United, maybe teeheehee" become worldwide breaking news to the point where fake AI sheikhs were being created.

At this point he probably thought "....ah shite" and packed his bags.

Jesus Christ, the modern fan is a disaster.

Losing your mind over club staff is insane. All the more so when you aggressively pillaged the entire football industry to build your own club.

It’s just a staff position. It wasn’t Haaland. Or Pep. Or Tixi. Or Soriano.

It’s a well qualified management figure and City are under no threat from us as a club for at least half a decade. They’ve probably planned for this for a while. If it’s possible to ignore all of the dirty money and cheating, their football club operation is absurdly well ran and they’ve lost a single employee.

It’s such a trivial thing for any fan to give a feck about. Real ‘go and touch some grass’ stuff from that forum. Insane to even give a feck about him leaving.

Imagine winning a treble and caring that you lose a senior administrator. Tiny club with a childish fan base.

They need to realise that their club litterally pays the biggest wages in world football so nobody would ever leave them just for money

Dear Bertie;

Nobody gives a shit what City fans have to say about anything.

Yours Sincerely, RedCafe Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Mr Pigeon

PS: our stadium might be a shithole but at least we actually own it.

This guy must be reading this thread so in that case... I used to go with my old man to watch Crewe Alex in the Championship whilst your shit pot team were struggling to get out of League One whilst playing the likes of Port Vale.

Remarkable how easily forgotten that wonderful slice of Man City history is.

A bit like when Peter Kenyon joined Chelsea.

Maybe this lad has a shopping list he can bring with him too.

The more i watch this,the more im certain they cannot get away from this.

I've not seen that before.. it's pretty shocking how they've gone about things and even the most hard-core City fan must see that! Can't wait for the result of the charges to be published

They must be the most bitter fanbase in English football. I know scousers call Everton fans the bitter but they can't come close to City's lot, surely.

The Man City fans ive talked to know that they have done some shady shit but do not care mate.

Thanks for posting this, I hadn’t actually watched it before. Football is beyond saving after watching that.
It is pretty blatant the cheating mate.

Yes, that report is pretty damning.

The bizarre sequence of events is remarkable, because the people high up in the club knew that the additional payments had to be done in secret and without any paper or email trail, yet on six occasions, the club had to ask them for the extra money and even detailed the shortfall. And on each occasion they dropped themselves in it.

You would think that they would have kept it under the radar, but no, they made the club chase them for the money, and as a result the cheating is beyond any doubt. Even Ferran Soriano was copied into those mails.

So everybody knows that they are guilty, and City fans are hoping that the PL will back down. Or that the government will step in an quash the charges, following pressure from the UAE.

But it is too late for that. The PL will look pretty stupid if they back down after making such an emphatic statement. And the rest of the clubs won't let them get away with it. Especially Everton or Forest.
