Nothing is suspicious. It’s just that they have a very forgetful customer called S.Mansour who regularly buys thousands of tickets for him and all his best mates but then forgets the game is on and fails to turn up.
Yeah. That headline does say "sell" after all - nothing about actually attending the match. Hell the Bitters are more dedicated when it comes to going the game, and they have to suffer through absolute shite.
I think that CL homecoming parade has hurt City behind the scenes more than we realized. The players have their handsome wages and their medals but they have no adoration. They'll still be professional, but the realisation that their accomplishments ring a bit hollow, perhaps even amongst themselves, is sapping them of their passion. Hope so anyway, I might just be chatting shite
