But it will.... but not for you

Assuming that by saying "Manchester's other club", you are referring to City.
If so, why doesn't the future for some of those involved not look too rosy in light of Cook's resignation?
(That's TOO rosy by the way - I made a similar mistake to the one you've just made in a post yesterday...)
Again Tottenham fans are quite happy with the goings on around our board but when asked about the tax excile the topic in question is quickly changed.

Spelling police out again, quickly changing the topic as per.
Oh - lets all stick up for someone that mocks someone that has cancer
Rerpugnant, odious and despicable.
Joe Lewis lives abroad and doesn't pay the same tax as someone living in the UK does - neither does Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, neither did Thaksin Shinawatra - your point being?
Rerpugnant as in repugnant?
Would it interest you to know that over 20% of the foreigners registered to play in England have companies set up overseas and have a proportion of their payments made to them by their clubs go through those overseas companies?
No it wouldn't
But thanks for asking

Yup - that's the one. I'm so glad that you knew what I meant, you're actually brighter than many said you were.
Repugnant as in repugnant, odious and despicable. I am tempted to add 'beneath contempt' too (or is it to or perhaps two?) but that mite (might) be over the top.
Surely you wouldn't be poking fun at someone who corrects the spelling of others?
Oh the depths you've been reduced to...
I'd only be poking fun at someone if that someone thought that to be the case.
Otherwise I'm laughing at myself
It's a good job I phrased that comment as a question then...
Which is why I answered it
I think this thread sums up exactly why every other fan in the country now hates City. Just like Cook, no class, no dignity and no honesty...
This "no class" remark. Heard it spouted on here aimed towards a wide variety of targets. Seemingly utilized in a similar manner to labelling someone a "hypocrite", or that saying a football club has "lost its soul" - i.e. one that is clearly designed to get under the skin of others, but one that nevertheless rarely displays much thought attached to it.
Would anyone care to explain what they feel actually constitutes class in regards to football?

Traditional values
Honesty and integrity
Not getting into unmanageable debt
Not trying to buy success
Being a part of the community
Staying true to your roots
Traditional values, honesty and integrity, being a part of the community, and staying true to your roots I can very easily accept.
City play a huge part in their community - more so than the vast majority of clubs. Winning numerous awards and garnering widespread recognition as a result. So to say the club has "no class" is clearly incorrect based on that factor alone.
Not getting into unmanageable debt, not trying to buy success - I genuinely fail to see the correlation between that and having or lacking class. Nevertheless, out of these two definitions, one does relate to City while the other does not.
Unmanageable debt is synonymous with classless people trying to keep up with the Joneses
The upper classes, when short of money, are renowned for making do - that's why, when they are in a position to do so they buy long lasting and durable clothing (tweeds, cords, vyella shirts etc.) because they know that when they're hard up, and they all are at some time or another. Class.
Those that get into debt invariably do so to buy the latest here today gone tomorrow fashion, gadget or accessory. Classless.
As for trying to buy success - show me where it's worked and been to the benefit of the club and its fan base.
