Thanks for the insight, Pep.
It all makes sense now, sack the board!
Been a blue for 60 odd years and off the pitch I am losing faith and love for the clubThe thing is engagement with supporters is completely separate to rinsing supporters for profits.
I hate scousers, but compare how Liverpool run their ship. They are worse than City with some of their tactics for squeezing their support for cash, but they have their beat journos wrapped round their fingers to an avoid negative press. After the Paris champs league final they made very public their complaints. They got their MP stooges like Ian Byrne involved. If there is tragedy chanting they make public statements immediately, and they engage with Spirit of Shankly etc.
They have Tony Barrett, a scouser that used to be the LFC beat journo for the Times, running their communications team.
They make the supporters know they have got their back despite ripping them off.
We have radio silence all year round. Our mob said fuck all about Istanbul. They’ve never once said anything to our supporters about 115. No support in history has had to deal with the shit we have from the media and other supporters due to 115 on a daily basis yet not once has there been anything said to keep the support onboard.
We have a a CEO that to my knowledge has not said anything to any British media outlet or even our own internal media since the day he joined.
The Barca 8 example on Sunday was yet another fuck up. It’s gone viral round the world with millions of views and thousands of ‘plastic’ comments with silence from City.
No doubt tomorrow there will be a big group of empty seats in the South Stand behind the goal right in the best spot for tv cameras to pick up to get the rest of country sniggering.
It would be so easy to fix it but nobody at City is interested.
I totally agree with everything you have posted. And it won't change.The thing is engagement with supporters is completely separate to rinsing supporters for profits.

It's mad that the club have got so much right on the pitch but off it in terms of fan engagement and ticketing they're nothing short of a joke.The thing is engagement with supporters is completely separate to rinsing supporters for profits.

Of that there is no doubt.I like to think our board have a lot more class than most. Especially the dippers.
That's no excuse for them not speaking out about the Istanbul fiasco. None whatsoever.I'd rather our board said fuck all than engage in the mawkish nonsense that the fenway weirdo's get up to in order to curry favour with the victims.
Of that there is no doubt.
But our board doesn't engage with City fans like the Liverpool board engages with Liverpool fans.
Nobody can understand why that is happening. And why the board have chosen to do that.
The problem is that these board pronouncements start to lose impact if overdone.That's no excuse for them not speaking out about the Istanbul fiasco. None whatsoever.
