Does he actually know that about the tunnel club though? I’m not being flippant. I genuinely don’t know how clued up he is about who inhabits the Etihad.
The ‘match day experience’ and everything that comes with it is aimed at the demographic Soriano wants to get through the turnstiles - tourists who will spend £200 in the club shop without skipping a beat, and the Corporate lot, some of whom are indifferent to the score line let alone inclined to make noise.
Does Pep think there are 50,000 working class Mancunians in the ground, paying £20 per ticket?
I love him for what he’s achieved. He’s taken us to heights I couldn’t have dreamed of when I was getting picked on at school in the 90s for being a Blue. But it is strange that we see this from him 2 or 3 times a season.
