Are City really ruining football?

[Mancity1980]

I know City have balanced the books, but there is something wrong with buying Grealish for a record transfer fee to play in a position already well stocked with 2 other international players (Sterling and Foden). That kind of quality accumulation distorts the competition.

I fail to understand where you are going with this. Grealish has just joined us, Pep is changing him into a more complete player, like he has done with many others. Make a judgement 12 to 18 months from now. As for the distorts the competition comment, the so called opposition have spent big money trying to compete with us, they have gazumped us on many of our targeted players (Maguire, Sanchez), they have pressurised the authorities and the media to conspired against us, evidence of an agenda against us is everywhere. I call that distorting the competition.

When we've got our own fans thinking shite like this, there really is no hope.

I question it is a city fan with comments like that.

Ruining it for everyone else....

 

[Mancity1980]

See I have always said our transfer policy was great, when many have criticized Txiki and co. This is genuinely the first time I felt this is not good for the competitiveness of the game. And it's not some knee jerk because of Grealish's poor form (I'll give him 1 year before criticizing his performances), I questioned this transfer right when he was linked to City.

What about when United bought their competitor’s best player (Andy Cole) or Real did the same with Figo followed by Zidane?

How come no one mentioned all this "ruining football" when the rags won it 13 times in the first 21 years of the competition, 7 out of the first 9 and when they won it 3 years in a row on two different occasions? Because I didn't hear a fucking thing.

I waited 46 years to see my club start having a sustained period of winning trophies and i luv it!

If the media, commentators, critics and jealous fans of other teams don't like it, i don't care, they can fucking do one!

CITY, CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!!

Or when the so called top 4 were mopping up all the CPL money? That was an unhealthy cartel that we smashed up.

I hope we ruin it some more by the end of the season, washed down with salty tears and punctuated by sighs of arrogance with a promise to do it again next season.

 

[PistonBlue]

Yes, we're ruining it for the history twins and all their sympathisers, and you know what? It's fucking beautiful

 

[Chi-town blues]

Agreed . City ruined football.
Who doesn’t miss watching football with leather studs nailed on boots and sticking rusty ones out ,on a rice paddy pitch with 5 defenders and hoof ball?
Wait that sounds like yesterday.

Bring back tony pulis.

Not any more than Liverpool did in the 70ties and 80ties, and United did in the 90ties and the first decade of the 2000s. This is our time, the only problem is that the fans of these 2 clubs do not like it.

I love it.
