Agree! Didn’t he resign later in the year last time?

Yeah, just posted something relating to this in the Issa approach from Forest…. His last build of his squad is going to be centred on the foundation of the academy imo, his 7 year impact behind the scenes in terms of style is starting to take shape and his lasting legacy will be leaving us with 5/6 home grown, in and around the first team, that would be incredible!

Raheem is a player in his prime, not some half-arsed worked-out donkey. His contribution to us for the past 6 years was immense. What I can find in media we did fuck all to try to keep him. Always a workhorse, almost never injured and we let him leave for less money than that Brazilan dude from Everton. And we then let the other Brazilian dude leave, the one who is almost Raheem's clone when it comes to above mentioned attributes.
Lillo was obviously the one who changed our approach to defending, more organised slightly sitting further back to the middle. If Pep wants to go his old ways, good luck with Halland, Grealish and Mahrez up front. Just my opinion, or I just did not catch that Halland hysteria train.

Unusual for a post of this length to miss out on having any good or accurate points in it.
 
Just hope this doesn’t drag on now. Although I personally don’t think he bought into the club the way that Sergio, Merlin,Zabba, Vinny, Fernandinho and KDB have done, he’s still been a brilliant signing! The time has come though and although I do wish he was going abroad, getting £55m including add ons is a huge profit on our books and chance for
Alvarez and Palmer to get game time.

Nobody is really arsed here how many fans we have around the world, I'm certainly not. They contribute next to nothing to the club's coffers, and most have only latched on due to our success. Should we ever fall from grace we'll see how many glory hunters will still be wearing snide City shirts in Africa, amongst other places.

Probably you don't but our owners do. Tell me why we are having pre-season in the US and our chairman was talking about our US fans ?
Most people rarely switch teams once they start supporting a club, you have got a fan for life. That is the biggest investment any club can make, why you think a Leicester or Wolves can never make it above Arsenal despite the latter being shite for over a decade ?

You think Chelsea are a more historical and bigger club so your opinion is worth what I’ve paid for it.

Never said they are more historical stop twisting my words. They are currently bigger than us, anyone with a straight mind will agree.

Don't agree with you regarding the Chelsea bit but they do have a head start ,

I do agree that the Owners / Management 100% do care about the International market / fans.

Clubs don't runaway for nothing on these Pre-season tours etc. catering to the International market.

Additionally International Broadcast revenue will exceed local broadcast revenue driven by the demand of fans who wake up at odd hours to support " their teams" - so it most certainly 100% at present and will incrementally continue to contribute to the club coffers.

Its 2022 - its a global game , just plain facts. You will continue to see new fans whether people like it or not.

Just a heads-up if City do win the UCL ( hopefully ) in the near future - Ric and the mods can be rest assured you will have a greater influx of new fans onboard.

They can be irritating as fk ( Brazilian Gus for example - but he did make good points and I did like his post from time to time ) as I have already seen here in the last couple of month , but hey - that's what success gets you and certainly what the owner's want.

if people don't like or accept that , it's their wish and they can always mute their post.
 
Do Saturday announcements happen ? Otherwise we wait for Monday then

As per Pol , once sterling leaves - then me move for cucurella
 
He could never take it to the City fans after being labelled as a mercenary by the media when he came, that can get to your head. It would be like overdoing it if he tried.

He's got every right to an opinion, he may or may not be wrong but he's entitled to the opinion. Modern football is awash with fan boys and he makes a good point, the huge majority of the casual fans will fuck off if we every get shit again it's the core support the club needs to look after if the club is going to survive long time.

It's the otherway round, the huge majority of 'casual fans' is the reason why these clubs never become shxt and irrelevant. Barca are never becoming Getafe in next 100yrs however bad they get mismanaged. How you think Barca sold their 25yr tv rights for a record deal to get out of debt ? Would it be possible with just legacy fans. Even their Youtube superchats were getting some thousand grand in total.

Big clubs with big fanbase means you're most likely never going away. This is same reason why UEFA are desperate to bring the 5th English team for CL. Without the rags UEFA misses out on a big chunk of viewers. Foreign fans wake up at 2am to watch their teams, majority stick with a club once they attach themselves to it just like a 'legacy fan'. Sub-consciously no individual would want to waste the emotions, time and energy spent on supporting a club and only to go somewhere else. It's like fooling yourself.

With increased digitalisation and meta-verse trials, foreign fans are more important than ever. If 10 million fans spend $7 on a metaverse ticket you have your Haaland transfer fee.

Haaland cost @ £52m not 70m dollars ;-).
Don't take what you see in the media as gospel.

I don't care about being a big club, I don't care about becoming a Barcelona or a rag, all the fan boys seem to talk about is money.

To be honest it's vacuous shit.
