Why do you care what anyone away from city as a club thinks? Who actually cares what Larry from Reading thinks if he’s too stupid to not form his own opinion?
I’ve never ever understood the obsession with what others think. When Chelsea first started to win stuff after their takeover and negative stuff was spouted about them, did you believe it or did you not care either way as your club is city? Who cares?!!
Again, who cares? As long as he’s wearing sky blue and winning trophies, that’s what matters.Initially when Chelsea were spending big and winning it was great as it was competition for the rags but I did find the amount of money spent was obscene so I can understand other fans opinion on City.
Let's see what the reaction from the media will be when we spend £75 million on Frenkie de Jong in January, which we will.

On Chelsea, I remember when we beat the. 1-0 in 2004 - in what would’ve been an invincible season for them had it not been for us. I saw Chelsea as same size as us, and that feeling to beat them knowing they were winning things, signing the best players and manager (at the time) was immense.
It was, primarily because we were shit and that was totally unexpected, but I was very envious of them back then. I always quite liked Chelsea, in particular end of 93/4 season when the Kippax sang ‘you’re gonna win the cup’ wnd their fans clapped it. Then they went and got all posh and fancy. Like we did eventually. With that comes hate. It doesn’t need fuelling. It just appears through what some fans can’t control - the inability to look at things rationally.Yeah that was a good day thanks for the reminder.
I’m with you here, used to think no-one that mattered give a shit what the media or mainstream thought. Internet has opened my eyes a bit, preferred them shut to be honest. Why fucking care what anyone thinks or how much someone is paying for something? It’s brilliant.

We are really struggling aren’t we in that department!!You think sponsors won't be deterred by constant negative publicity ?

I go off the many sponsors we announce. I like to believe they didn’t even have the care in the world to believe some spotty graduate making his way in journalism, and simply saw the opportunity to get involved in what is rapidly becoming a super club.Depends whether or not you believe Der Spiegel.

Great day for us. We think Jose is deluded and bitter now but he was no different when we beat them!Again, who cares? As long as he’s wearing sky blue and winning trophies, that’s what matters.

Whether we, or you, believe Der Spiegel is irrelevant, its whether our sponsors do, and as they don't appear to have formed an orderly clue to leave after the DS leaks, it would suggest they couldn't care less.Depends whether or not you believe Der Spiegel.

I'd be much more concerned with today's news about the student Matthew Hedges being jailed for life in the UAE, and the possible decline of relations between GB and UAE as a result. There will likely be a backlash from the media, and I'm surprised that we haven't yet been brought into it somehow.
The opposite actually, I watched premier league years yesterday when we beat them and it shown his interview afterwards where he was quite fair. Unlike today’s Jose. Didn’t we draw the away game 0-0 to that season? Getting 4 points off the champions was the best it used to get for us!
He moaned about the penalty iirc
Have always kept the blue tinted glasses on and focussed on the good things our owners have done for our team and the city as a whole
Just watching the news now though and hearing of the British lad in UAE who has been sentenced to life imprisonment after a 5 minute trial having been held in solitary confinement for 6 months for doing nothing more than research for his PhD and I’m finding our association with this regime becoming a bit less palatable
Both our owner and the chairman have enormous influence in UAE
I know people at the club read this forum and feed back to those in charge. Maybe if we as city fans acknowledged that this isn’t acceptable and urged the sheik and Khaldoon to have a word.
I don’t mind UAE using us a way of gaining soft power and influence in the west but it works both ways.
If you're thinking along those lines, so that they look to contrast with the Iranian case, that's also in the news currently, it won't, they're unconnected.Don't be surprised if he's released in the near future.
There's more to this than meets the eye. This case is about sending a signal, it's politics by other means.

He's been held without trial for 6 months, and by the sound of it, treated like shit by the UAE authorities, so even if they do suddenly release him, and send him home, there's going to be a lot of bad publicity to follow.
We have a lot of links with the UAE (as a country), and there is definitely going to be a significant decline in diplomatic relations over this, especially as we appear to have been given hints that he would be freed.
The media will take great delight at pointing more fingers at City over it sadly.
