Tell the truth I'm not really bothered about Nice just read up on one or 2 things and discovered that they actually qualified for the Champions League 12 months after Pacific Media took over.
I think sometimes stories in the papers and social media get blown up like the so called uproar with Nice fans.
Having said that its no different to our supporters blowing a fuse last week because of Schopps fall out with Benson and his stopping in the dugout at halftime in Bournemouth of which neither was true.
Conway was claiming credit for Nice being in the Champions League. You don't build a side to that level in the few months they were there prior to the Champions League place. They didn't buy any players that made a difference. The side was built gradually over four or five years by Jean Paul Rivere, the previous owner and Conway stepped in to claim the credit.
You imply the Nice fan's unrest is just a made up story. Several respected French sports papers and magazines discussed it over several months. It wasn't the Nice BBS.
