Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

The club has won trophies before Pep and will do so after Pep. And regarding players, Aguero Kompany, Silva, Toure etc. all came before Pep so that doesn't hold either. I would say those 4 arguably had bigger impact on our club as a whole than Pep.

You might be right but it’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying we are better off with Pep reputation wise not comparing him to past players.

. I was told 7,000 tickets unsold, split evenly between the home and away sections . 55,000 capacity minus 3,500 away fans, minus 3,500 City fans gives us 48K attendance not the media’s reported 38K. Liverpool’s attendance was given as 2,500 above the grounds capacity including a big Milan support.

Those pesky scousers managed to jib in an extra 6,000 supporters and still got them included in the stated attendance?

I get it but you also talked about how half of our current players joined because of Pep. It's not like we haven't had world class players before him. That's why I mentioned those 4 names as those players had way more impact than the players Pep has bought.

Yes that’s fair enough.

The main point remains Pep has done more good for our reputation than bad.

The 38k must have come from City but it was clearly wrong. I reckon it was 48k too
 
Not saying anything particularly original here but city's fan base recruitment took a hit in the 80s and 90s especially when the club was in turmoil and was kept going by older blues. These older blues including myself are going to need replenishing with younger fans and at matches my impression is a lot of younger faces are starting to appear but it's going to take time to build and for these to bring their kids.

Again, I disagree with the bolded part. We are already one of the most hated clubs in the world and I don't think the media cares who our manager is. However, when Pep says things like low attendance or Rags and Dippers being bigger clubs, he is not actually helping our reputation imo.

Yeah. Each of the big 6 get between 27 and 30 televised games. Being in the europa league or going deep into the CL means 30, not doing that will push it down to the lower end.

We usually end up +/- 1 televised game of United.

He probably thinks it's another conspiracy against us.

You’re tying yourself up in knots to defend him here.

he litterally says “the only way we’ll get them in by seducing them with good football”

Therefore he doesn’t have a fucking scooby why people don’t turn up to midweek CL games.

We have litterally been the best team in the world for large parts of his reign and it’s not made any difference to those CL games.

an extra 10% posssion or 4 shots on target isn’t going to get people through the door.

It doesn’t give kids time off school, it does’t make tickets any cheaper and it doesn’t mean you can get to the ground any easier after work.

You're doing incredible mental gymnastics to demonise the greatest manager this club has ever had, to the point where he's literally said point blank "I understand they care more for the league" and you've turned round and attacked him for saying he doesn't understand it.

I don’t think anyone outside the UK is hearing about this

I didn’t say he was I said he has done more good than bad.
He’s not perfect. If you think on balance he has done more bad then OK. I don’t.
People think beautiful football long before rubbish fans.

I never said anywhere that he has done more bad that good. He is not perfect you are right. But he can just stop saying things like this in the media when he has done that numerously before. Again, that's just my opinion. But I do get where you are coming from.
