"'And there's hard times again on these streets of our city,' Mr. Walsh read. 'But we don't take defeat and we don't want your pity, because this is a place where we stand strong together, with a smile on our face, Mancunians forever'."
"[T]icket sales and suite revenues through last season had fallen by a staggering $166 million since the end of 2009 ..."
