Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

The only club that has statues of people that dont even a grey hair. Silva isnt that old and Kompany doesnt even have a hair to begin with.

I find it interesting that this behaviour has ramped up at a time when Koeman allegedly has a few games to save his Barça career.

Could Pep be managing his way back to Catalunya?

Manchester City are basically a marketing toy for Etihad Airways. The name on the shirts, the stadium, the cheesy adverts promoting Abu Dhabi based companies. That's really what it's all about. That is the owners 'skin in the game'. They mainly bought them for two reasons, one being that they were cheap to buy (and the owner was desperate to sell before he went to prison), but the main factor was that they shared a location and name with Manchester United, one of the biggest sporting entity's on the planet.

They then looked around at the people who made Barcelona FC successful and made them an o££er they couldn't refuse. They call it 'the project' because that's what it is to them. A business venture, an experiment in maximising the advertising potential of their products. They couldn't care less about the core fans. They want tourists, and day trippers in Man Utd kits to come to their matches. They want people to worship false Gods, like injury prone Belgian defenders, who they build statues for??? Not for world cup heroes or Ballon d'Or winners, a statue for someone who just turned up, took the money and didn't complain!!

In the drone footage that they produced for celebrating winning the PL, they shamelessly flogged the corporate hospitality and tunnel club before showing anyone the actual PL trophy. This is who they are now. They have become the thing that they always hated. A faceless, corporate entity, built on sand. The sort of people who turn their noses up at Mancunians in the street. From the very top, to the very bottom of that club, there is not one real genuine Manchester City fan on the payroll. They are all hired hands. Pigs eating from the trough. And when they've all had their fill, they will be off for good. Only ever to return one day, slightly bemused, because some marketing dweeb in Mayfair has decided that they should have a statue made for them. "Erm...thanks guys...this is such an honour to have this pockmarked lump of metal that looks nothing like me! I will be sure to visit you all again in the next decade!"

The backlash against Guardiola today is comical. He isn't there because he loves the club, or has any sort of affinity to the fans. He's there because they pay him £18 million a season. And now that the clock is running down and he can see some light at the end of the tunnel, he's starting to let his true feelings out. He took their money, but deep down he is embarrassed by them. That is why he makes comments like he did in the interview last night. Even giving the time of the kick off on Saturday. Could you imagine any other manager saying that to their fans? He's serving out his notice, and settling a few gripes before he goes. I doubt that he will ever darken their door again. Unless they build him a statue!

Unless he or his family have a serious case of homesickness, I doubt he comes back to Barcelona. That club won't have it's finances in tip top order for some years still, and Pep needs a big money squad in order to compete.
I think he'll return to Barsa at a latter point, but as a president for the club.

Yeah, that’s a fair shout and argument. It would certainly go against everything he has stood for as a manager so far in his career.

But, if he’s had enough at city, it would be an easy out for him where he’ll never be hated and could go in and solidify them for this season before building again.

I’d bet they’ll have loads to spend next summer, for example
 
Pep had no issues skating the fans publicly for not turning up well let’s see if he publicly skated the players first not turning up

All on the genius. Better if he shut up and actually managed the Team.

Pep, wonder if you could get more of your players to turn up next week? Should be your main concern lad.

Seems they're more upset about Pep's quote than the result .
Wonder if some of them wanted not to get a win so they could bash Pep :lol::lol:

If Sterling didn’t rush in then it’s a tap in for foden. Nicked it off his toe.

He's stole a living doing exactly that. I know i'm reacting harshly but he's really beginning to piss me off now. Imagine him wanting a payrise...hope we feck him off to barca in january.

Please give kudos to this comment.

I feel sad for the long term City fanbase becasue I knew this scenario would unfold with the Abu Dhabi takeover in 2007... The hard-working class, low income, struggling with low tier divisions, with idols like Dickov or Horlock... I bet that to them celebrating promotion vs Gillingham in 1999 to get to First Division is worth like x1000 more than winning a Champions League nowadays. If I were a City supporter, I know I would.

Money brings elite players, money brings elite football, the success money brings may even bring some fans to the Club... But money can't buy love.

And love in footballing terms comes from facing challenges and hardships like: relegations, eating 0-5 defeats at home, playing in dirt camps, having shitty players, having a long term trophy drought, having your rival fans shouting very disrespectful bullshit, getting screwed on the 90 minute penalty by a referee, having an ex-player shouting goal in front of your fanbase, having a homegrown player sweat tears or blood when winning on the last minute, having a player go and celebrate in front of the fans, having a strong-willed President and Board that invest in the Club....

These reasons and many more are what make fans love a football Club and love it inconditionally more than their own family, woman or religion. This is what football separates greatly from other sports. This is the reason we hate somebody calling it 'soccer'.

Manchester City was a very small football club, but it was loved. Maybe few people loved it in comparison to United or other clubs, but it was their Club. The love the Club had was earned.

Sadly, that love Manchester City had probaby vanished with all the money. The City these longtime hardcore fans loved is a totally different Club.

Now now behave, anyone who puts a football club over their woman and family should be spanked naked in public.

I've got married and had a wonderful son just a year ago, nothing felt more special than that.

United is up there with my priorities..though.

Pep recognises that the competition is suddenly looking quite fierce, so it's time to start looking for new opportunities. PSG would have been the perfect fit for him had the stars aligned.

If the Qataris are unsatisfied with Poch, they could always sack him and bring in Pep - unless there's some feud between UAE and Qatar that I'm not aware of that makes a direct deal difficult.

Funny you mention that, UAE and other gulf countries are actually enforcing a blockade against Qatar at the moment.

How inappropriate that someone would use a homosexual slur about this poster due this post. He is not gay, he is under the thumb.

Hasn't been a blockade here for some time now. Saudi and the UAE flights were banned due 'to escalating Delta Variant COVID cases within the GCC region' (really down to them sqaubbling over the OPEC oil $barrel set price), but that all sorted now as well.

There are eyebrows being raised in the UAE, especially the Emirate of Abu Dhabi about the amount of money being funnelled into 'projects' - anywhere else in the world Etihad would have been bankrupt a decade ago.
 
I didnt realise just how many dippers arent from liverpool who attended Anfield until yesterday.

Every bloody service station we went in was rammed with them. M6, M42, M40. After trying to get food in the 5th service station we gave up. The last service station we tried they must have 50 plus coming in, they were ever fecking where and not one scouser accent between them.
OK saw a few blues but only around 10 or so in the first few service stations.

Of all the games we have attended from down here even when City are playing a london club, we have seen only a few of their fans on the way up and back. If fact I only saw about 20 Southampton fans in the service stations yesterday !.It was unbelievable the amount of plastic scousers going up from the south. They cant have many locals going the their matches.
