My partners kid is 8 and genuinely thought Man City were one of the greatest clubs of all time. He also thinks Kane is a fair player. The generation they are trying to attract are the future generations who won’t bat an eyelid at what happens with City’s owners. Until they get old enough and grow a conscience. The generation coming after gen z will be even less forgiving of the actions of the middle east than the current lot are. Then when the kids are old enough to have any power/money it won't be shared with the Arab state. They're praying that the affiliation with the club will survive a lifetime, but anyone that supports man city because of their current success won't have any problem dropping them for someone else that is being successful. But guess they are getting what they want out of the arrangement anyway. As someone else mentioned, the F1, boxing, golf, etc that have all helped themselves to the money on offer there is proof of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what they said about kids supporting Liverpool, Utd or Chelsea 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago but there's still loads of idiotic fans around (including globally) who still support them based off past success.

What were Liverpool or United doing that warranted someone to disapprove of their owners? Chelsea maybe a better comparison though. Liverpool and United have largely maintained their success and so the supporters stay with them. Let's see what happens to Chelsea now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I despise this club but they do prove useful sometimes. Like that time they hammered Watford's GD and lifted us out the relegation. Surely they take a point from Brentford this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think so, I can't imagine Pep will want Brentford doing the double over them even though they have nothing to play for. It doesn't matter anyway as we will beat Brighton.

Genie Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 City have made a signing already. Scott Carson on a 1 year extension. He’ll be well into his 50’s by now. He must make an amazing cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) City abusing the homegrown rule to the max. Carson has played what 2 games in two years for them. Edited May 30, 2023 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will bite then if they have to rely on him in goal due to injury. The other option would be them naming nobody in their CL squad. Or putting in one of their youth keepers. Can't see it happening but would be brilliant watching them have to turn to him to win next seasons champions league. Or even this years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted May 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2023 I mean, as far as ridiculous choices go, this is the worst. I could perhaps go along with it if no other manager did anything this year. But, Emery and his miracle work with us. Howe, the same. O'Neill. I'd put Pep 5th or 6th down the list, and he's won it. **** jokers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do insist on always calling first and using my own coin which happens to be a double headed coin, but no one can take away my record. Rules, f##k em.
