I agree this would be an interesting conversation. Specifically how we were willing to give Pearce time under the guise of "room to improve" but somehow after winning a league Pellegrini is under pressure after 10 games.
As dreadful as it is to say it, all of those rags and wanker pundits giving it out years ago when we were taken over eventually got their wish. We have become spoilt and just expect these trophies to appear in front of us. Winning them is no longer an achievement but instead is now an expectation, a measure of how good or bad of a season it has been.
That's the problem with City, it's the difference between a 17 year old lad who buys his first car through grafting to one whose Dad buys it for them. When they inevitably total it, one of them will scrape the barrel of their savings and take on extra shifts at a factory and the other one will go crying to their Dad about how they need a new car.
Just as through hard times now there are some who will try to be sensible about the nature of form in football and point out that even Man United during their most dominant phase ever didn't win it every year, and there are those who will immediately sack the manager and want to sell half of the squad.
If we would have achieved this success through regular means rather than a never-before-seen catapult to the top, we'd have slowly built expectation and atmosphere and a confidence that we can keep going. You can take the fans out of the relegation fight but can't take the relegation fight out of the fans it seems.
League titles now are celebrated with barely a cheer from some sections of the fan base because that is the baseline season that City should be having because we're Man City and we're The Richest Club In The World™ and it's what the Sheikh expects aswell like any of us have the faintest idea what Sheikh Mansour wants or thinks. So that makes it fine to be slagging off a Double winning manager 11 games into the season when we lie in 3rd spot, and just not bothering with that massive Champions League game against Roma.
We put 70 odd thousand in Wembley for a Division Two play off final in 1999 but can't put 40,000 in our home stadium for a Champions League game against Roma that we desperately needed to win.
It's the same entitlement over and over now. Sheikh buy us Reus is our equivalent of Daddy buy me a new car, a huge proportion of the fanbase thinks that throwing money at a problem and sacking the manager is the answer; they of course think this because its what brought us to the table. When you teach fans that you can spend your way out of a problem they will expect it again and again and again. I mean, giving the manager time to work with players and integrate a new system? Bah! Sack him, bring in Pep, sell Nasri and buy Isco. All of our problems will then be solved. Right up until the next time we have a bad run of games and then Jovetic, Clichy and even Yaya Toure ffs will have to be looking over their shoulder as the "sell our whole team brigade" will start banging their drums and find the next great Football Manager legend that they swear they've seen loads of.
There's a section of our fanbase who are starting to resemble children with their petulant demands and "now, now, now" attitude.
