RupertCommunicator Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 This is the final straw for me. It's the very fabric of the club; some of our history. Ashley has obliterated our squad - I got over that. He's bleeding vast amounts of cash out of the club - I got over that. He's insulted us, sacked our manager and lied to us - I got over that. But now he's messing with the history of the club - something he doesn't own, the fans do. From now on, I'm going to be meticulous in making sure that not a penny of my money goes to m*ke as*ley. No going to games, no buying shirts, no buying mechandise. Definitely no sp*rts d*rect. Only when the FCB goes will I start putting money and my emotional buy in back to the club. That was it, my own personal breaking point. Fair weather fan Not really, I was at City when they humped us 3-0, Souness's last game in charge. I was at Wigan for the pitiful 1-0 losses. I was there in the Championship, I've seen us humped at Anfield and have supported the club unwaveringly through the Gullit, Roeder, Kinnear and Alardyce periods. Only because Im under 30 do I not remember the dark age pre Keegan, although I do remember us in Division 2. I can deal with us not doing the business on the pitch, it's the way that the FCB has made the club rotten at the core that makes my blood boil. This isn't having a go at you so please dont think it is, but it makes my blood boil when people say the club is rotten to the core, i understand why its said but its Ashley and his cronies that are rotten not the club. Think of it like this, when a body has Cancer its the Cancer that is rotten not the body, thats how i se it, this CLUB will be here when that fat oaf is dead and buried. Yes, but cancer will kill the body unless it is completely removed. And the only thing that will remove the FCB is money. Or more specifically, a lack of it. Which is why I am financially boycotting the club. I live in hope that one day we will get an owner who wants the club rather than his bank account to do well.

RupertCommunicator Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It pisses me off, but it's not 'history' as such. It's become iconic but it's only 18 year old man! 18 years is history, man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Let's hope no-one tells Ashley what happened to the New York MetroStars and SV Salzburg and gives him any ideas... so what happened to them? They changed name. New York Red Bulls FC Red Bull Salzburg so... Sports Direct Football Club (SDFC) That Red Bulls shit still kills me. Henry in a Metrostars jersey would have been outstanding.

Its a double edged sword though, i hope we do well so we become more attractive to a buyer, if you withdraw money from the club he will only reduce costs more, it wont mean a thing to him, he just doesn't care and i dont think it will work, just my opinion like.

BlueStar Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Let's hope no-one tells Ashley what happened to the New York MetroStars and SV Salzburg and gives him any ideas... so what happened to them?
