Calling out the Sky reporter for misinterpreting his comments.
Spokesman for some Man City fanclub. Said Pep should buy the other 12k tickets and give them away with his £300k a week wagesWho is the Mr Parker he is talking about? Someone from sky sports?
Watching him in the dressing room doing team talks with that stupid dancing around pointing. Or grabbing players on the park and lecturing them while looking to see if the cameras are on him. He gets results. But hes a complete fannyit’s a moronic comment from the supporters spokesperson but Guardiola always come across as a complete bellend. His performance in the Man City documentary was David Brent levels.
A lot of clubs are losing their soul. We seem to be drifting towards american style sports crowds. I hope sky and all the others don't get their way.I disagree with the point that Man City are a tinpot club. No doubt that they’ve benefited unbelievably from the foreign investment however, they carried 30,000 supporters in the lower leagues in England, not many sustain that. I think they lost a bit of their soul when Maine Road went and they became another billionaire’s play thing but think the time pot stuff is harsh.
City are just an average sized English club turbocharged by oil money.
Could easily be Derby County or Sheffield Wednesday this had happened to.
Their gates are standard stuff for the size of their support.
Chelsea were at least a decent cup team when RA bought them, but yes historically a pretty middle road English club.Or Chelsea, oh wait….
I agree. We go down once a season for a game. They have a cracking core support but the rest are the tourist fans, ourselves included. You can't magic new 'real' fans out of nowhere. They matchday experience is superb.I disagree with the point that Man City are a tinpot club.

These teams are never going to be able to challenge the historically big English sides without investment, no issue with that but no amount of money can inflate their local fan base.
Chelsea are the same right enough, the two of them have have a hard core loyal support of probably 30,000 that stuck by them through various relegations and always had a great travelling support. I cant grudge either of them the luck of having billionaires money thrown at them.Or Chelsea, oh wait….
Agreed, far from a tin pot club. Anyone who has been to the stadium would know that.I disagree with the point that Man City are a tinpot club.

A lot of younger fans seem to be unaware of the size of City’s support before the club was bought by Arabs.I disagree with the point that Man City are a tinpot club.

A big stadium and money doest make you a ‘big Club’Agreed, far from a tin pot club. Anyone who has been to the stadium would know that.
By all means have a bash at the obscene amount of money invested in them, I agree with you, but City ain't a "tin-pot club", they've always had a loyal and large support and just like us they never turned their backs when things were bleak for them.Tin pot shite club with shit fans and shite lots of Arab money.
Everything that is wrong with modern football.

He inherited one of, if not, the greatest player of all time, then swanned around Manhattan like a hipster twat before taking over the European champions. His next challenge was running a team owned by oil billionaires. Loves a challenge. The absolute charlatan.
What a load of crap, city have a strong fan base of real supporters , so they got lucky with investors , good on them .Tin pot shite club with shit fans and shite lots of Arab money.

Anyone who thinks they are tinpot just cannot have been to Maine Road in 80s or 90s or even earlier really. Gone the wrong way since the Arabs arrived in the fanscene sense but have a rich football history on and off the pitch.I disagree with the point that Man City are a tinpot club.

What is it about the match day experience that is superb? I keep hearing this to be honest but nobody seems to really say exactly what. I just can’t for one minute think it’s the atmosphere generated by the fans so must be the ease of service and facilities etc.. genuine question, as I do keep hearing people saying how good a trip there is.I agree.

I’ve been to the stadium but got nuthing to do with the size of the club. Before they were taken over City were an average club and even today there stadium isn’t always full. I always preferred them to Utd probably as the had a few prods follow them. Had a good friends relations lived next to main Rd and they used to have a good time during the twelfth July. Unfortunately will alw at be in shadows of Utd.Agreed, far from a tin pot club. Anyone who has been to the stadium would know that.
Not saying they are a big club, they hate UEFA and that's why I think the attendances are low for the CL games.Man City m

One of my mates is a man city fan and thinks he’s working his ticket.Working his ticket, i thought this might happen cos it was obvious there would be a real challenge this season from Liverpool and Chelsea.
Utd are undoubtedly a hard act to follow. Said in a thread earlier that I think City fans actually liked being the underdogs. Not sure what they think of their situation now, especially as they can't fill their ground. I get the attendances for the CL games as they have an ongoing issue with UEFA but that stadium should be full for the PL gamesI’ve been to the stadium but got nuthing to do with the size of the club.

looks like it tbf hes been there a while and brought plenty of success it would not exactly be a surprise if pep wants to try italy or france now.One of my mates is a man city fan and thinks he’s working his ticket.
I think most City fans still feel they are living in a dream tbh. Noel Gallagher said lots of them prefer being shit. I was talking to a City fan in the pub once and he told me he'd rather see them win the league than the CL every single time. I couldn't really understand his mindset but he said its basically because they've lived in Utd's shadow for so long.I honestly don't know what more the Man City fans actually want? They have the best manager, a squad of some of the best most exciting players in football; win trophies every year and playing in the Champions League every year?
The City support are a baffling bunch.
You should go and educate yourself about Manchester City's history before spouting utter pish.Man City m
