Of all the players to revel in one's death, you pick on the classiest most gentleman footballer that probably ever played in England.
Absolute tossers.
Never forget that Man City players and staff sang about Liverpool fans being "battered in the streets".

The song was written shortly after Liverpool fan Sean Cox suffered life-altering injuries after being attacked in Rome. When confronted with this fact, what was City's defence? They weren't singing about Sean Cox, but rather they were singing about Liverpool fans being attacked by masked hooligans in Madrid (!)

So not only is the club built on financial doping, they've got a loooong history of being utterly classless. This horrible chant about Sir Bobby is just the most recent episode.
I think you've misunderstood, they didn't intend offence and therefore it's not offensive
Yeah. People didn't hear the first line of their chant was "with all due respect" so it's not offensive.
