My point merely emphasises the bit between the brackets. The FA and Football League didn't give a damn before and I'll be surprised if they give a damn in the future.
Playing competitive first team football probably helps their development immensely. They get that at City more than they would at most other league clubs.
I said back in 2013 that CCFC had become a zombie club - and now I have that confirmed by our financial director (Apologies I missed your earlier confirmation OSB58). Sadly, that doesn't make me any happier about the situation.
