“City Matters” fan committee

[Phil1]

Sam Lee? Really? What the actual fuck?

Yep. I’m out. Haha!

Dear Manchester City,
Thank you for your email mail which I received today.
Now go fuck yourselves.

Yours.
B. Mist.

Obviously I know the CM reps quite well. Simon Walker is a fantastic person to have as chair/chairman/chairperson* (delete according to pedantry). He has great integrity, is calm, thoughtful and reasonable, plus has tremendous gravitas. Mark Todd is also a brilliant rep, who takes no shit and is quite vocal usually in meetings, calling out things he thinks are wrong. Both are people you'd want in your corner.

Simon was asked to attend a meeting but not to tell the rest of the CM group. I think he realises that not telling the committee, and getting their input first, was a mistake. When Sam Lee suggested this meeting initially, we decided as a group that we wouldn't get involved as the risk was it would just turn into a circus.

I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the Liverpool fan representative was Joe Blott, Spirit of Shankly chair. I've met Joe and a nicer guy you couldn't hope to meet. I could talk football and fan-related stuff with him all day. But genuine and fantastic people like Simon & Joe aren't the problem.

I've made my thoughts clear on Liverpool's ownership and their deliberate actions in stirring the pot relentlessly, directly and via the media. I also agree with my learned friend Mr Moustache that City have been pusillanimous in dealing with this over what's now nearly 10 years, and certainly once the pattern and intent became quite clear to them.

Simon is a fantastic person to have as chair.

How the fuck are these sentences compatible?

Utterly disgraceful/laughable/pathetic/ dipper crawling

Delete or not as appropriate

All hold hands and sing Kumbaya is the only acceptable outcome on Thursday.

There's got to be some sort of incentive for this pandering

It just doesnt make sense.

Sorry but that is one of the most provocative songs you could sing. Whilst you have used the official song title, it is also known as the Luis Suarez song.
The line someone's crying my lord Kumbaya should have given you a big value.

Go on then, what ? I am waiting for someone to tell me how one allegation of an inappropriate song and one lone allegation of graffiti can equate to 2 coach attacks, hacking computers, spitting at staff members and throwing coins at a manager.
And that's ignoring the disgraceful comments spewed out of the mouth of their manager.

I'm not really sure when the posters on here and City fans in general will start to understand that the senior management of the club couldn't give a flying fuck about the normal, match going 'legacy fans'? They never have done and it is clear they never will. City Matters and all the other similar stuff are just gimmicks to appease (and in my opinion to also patronise) the fans. For them it's about revenue. Money. Corporate hospitality - anything that can be monetised. They are no different to any other top club and why do we think they should be? The sooner this is accepted the easier for us it will be. I learnt the hard way. 45 year season ticket holder and booted out of CB L1 for the tunnel club with a brief email and a crappy 'take it or leave it' offer and a lot of other fans have also had the same. The way this has been handled tells us all everything we need to know how the management of how the club regard the fans. As I say, they couldn't give a fuck. Every game is a sell out these days. They can get more money for your seat ticket from some day tripper who buys a half and half scarf when he arrives at the Etihad and watches the game through their phone and then exits via the club shop to buy a load of over priced, expensive tat on their way out. It's what we have become.

Was about to post something similar feels like our owners would like nothing more than then to force the proper match going fan out and replace them with Mr or Mrs corporate and by crawling up the dippers arse while slating our own fans will make it happen quicker.

So I'm not allowed to victimise the victims? Does that make me a victim?
