I know, what is a few human rights atrocities when you've a got a new bar by the ground.The glory didn't follow for several seasons after being promoted though. When we last gained promotion from championship in 2001 we built stability by having a shrewd chairman in David Bernstein who steadied our ship from the disastrous tenures of Peter Swales and Franny Lee before him .Back in 2008 Thaksin Shinawatra bought us and sold us to Sheikh Mansour(ADUG) a little over a year later, and in 2011 we won our first proper trophy since 76.
People can call us cheats and 'dirty oil money ' etc, but our owners have been brilliant in what they've done for MCFC and East Manchester.
Some people are so short sighted
