Herd, try not to mix up online forums with actual conversations. Every forum has the typical characters. The hater, the lurker, the debator, the stirrer, the fence sitter, the teller, the fibber and the troller. If you ignore the extremes you can actually get a real feel for what city fans think. If you only highlight the extremes then why bother going to a city forum.
Now... We've spent the past few years being told (by predominantly the arsenal club and fans) that we are running an inferior business model and we are spoiling the beautiful game and then conveniently forget that the same model was already used by arsenal, united, Chelsea, spurs, Newcastle, Blackburn etc...in their history to get them into the top spots in the league.
whilst History is something we are told we lack - if only other clubs looked into their own history, they would see that their success is strongly linked to money / investment too.
Once you guys understand the hypocrisy being spouted, then you would then gain the respect from our fan base.
