Manchester City died the day Abu Dhabi bought the name and colours. They no longer exist.

All that remains is Abu Dhabi FC. The reputation-laundering arm of a disgusting regime.

I'll only refer to them as Man City when talking about the club that once had their home at Maine Road and had players like Franny Lee and Colin Bell.

Man City are dead. All that's left is a shell, wearing the same name and colours, but who will forever be Abu Dhabi FC to me.

Abu Dhabi PR is probably more fitting, the FC part is fairly incidental to their owners.

Sportswashing enterprise just like PSG and Qatar World Cup,bought and paid for.

They seem to have been banned originally but had that ban overturned.

So basically they fell the wrong side of breakeven rules over 2 3 season periods, and went to CAS arbitration to work out the punishment with UEFA which was basically to be kicked out of Europa this season.

Meh, they had their ban overturned in 2007 during the match fixing scandal, and that year we all know what happened in the CL. They weren't originally allowed to play for that year, but it was overturned

I thought it was pretty good. It's surprising to see just how young everyone we first won the European Cup in Rome in 1977, and now have gone on to win it 6 (six) times, most recently in Madrid.

I think it's interesting about Deadwood is that the lead actor is Ian McShane, who's from Manchester, a city close to Liverpool - who have won 6 European Cups, the most recent of which was under a month ago.

I imagine there's a few clubs that would love to be banned from the Europa. Will hit them for coefficient points mind.

One of the characters in Deadwood is called Calamity Jane. The comic character Calamity Jane was the inspiration for the nickname of David James, a former goalkeeper who used to play for Liverpool, a club that recently won its sixth European Cup.

I don't think so mate I'm pretty sure Ian McShane's from Cornwall.

EDIT: No, you're quite right, my apologies.

There was a David James who used to play up front for Manchester City as well but must be two players with the same name.

He was born in Blackburn which is only 10 miles or so from Bolton, wonder if he ever went there?

In other news Blackburn is only 30 miles or so from Liverpool who won the European cup for the sixth time 4 week ago

Ian McShane was born in Blackburn Lancashire. This town was famously mentioned in the song A Day in the Life, by the world famous band the Beatles.

The Beatles came from Liverpool, who won their 6th European Cup on June 1st 2019 in Madrid
