Quote: Jake the Peg "It is bleating and it's boring. Neither you or I know what the drop in income is, any more than we know what the drop in costs is over the same period but I do remember you telling us a while back that we only made a small operating loss in 2014. Crowds aren't significantly down since then but we seem to have shed a fair amount of cost in salaries so I'd assume it's reasonable to expect a no dissimilar financial performance for 2015.
Maybe you can give your professional view on the additional savings being made on the academy and the increase in SKY income for 2015 or doesn't your myopia allow you to bring any balance to your posts?'"
But but but, it's ALL SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT!
People not buying passes to watch overpaid dross with no attacking flair, sponsors not shelling out because the match day experience is poor and the owner, as it turns out, doesn't really give a toss about anyone but himself.
In an ideal world someone would buy City, FC and the SMC and be a very quiet, sit in the background and invest in experts owner.
