Joined by; Gary James (author of Manchester A Football History), Dee Hynes (research on fan communites & women in football), Dave Wallace (City's former 'fan on the board' & fanzine editor), Colin Savage (investigated finances of both teams, but also a City fan) and Professor Vanessa Toulmin (Man Utd super-fan and Director of the National Fairground Archive), and Andy Walsh (FC United), a debate considered if foreign ownership in Manchester’s football teams has moved the clubs too far away from their historical community roots and aims.
