I really wonder sometimes if anyone with City heritage has the ear of Pep or maybe should have a word - is the top level of the club now so devoid of genuine or lifelong blues that they are so removed from reality- because sometimes its like he just doesnt get us - he should know that shit like that is picked up by the haters

It's really not enough said though is it, for a start those in the stadium who aren't singing don't come within a million miles of this forum so they have no idea he said it.Well said and enough said

Pep, just focus on the pitch and don’t be worrying about what we are doing in the stands and pissing everyone off with your crap comments about the atmosphere to the media. Giving every fucker ammunition to have a go at us again. It was basically fucking freezing, shit 12.30 kickoff and a bastard to get there, but we got there and some of us then went straight to work to complete a 12 hour shift, moaning bald twat.
I genuinely don't think he understands how much his comments piss people off. As you allude to people make huge sacrifices to be there. I was awake about 5am and had about 4 hours sleep. Like everybody else I'm paying a fair bit for the privilege of being there. Bus broke down on the way back too etc. Then you get these comments off somebody whose getting paid very handsomely to be there knocking the support in his lavish Stone Island jumper. Not those in the stands scrimping and saving all week to be in attendance. He annoyed me last season too after the Spurs game midweek and am getting back through the door at 1.30am or whatever it was on a Wednesday or Thursday morning. Other fans taking pot shots the following day after a decent nights sleep and not spending a penny. It is irritating.
I think the tweet by City is in response to his comments and probably wouldn't have been posted otherwise. Somebody at the club should just tell him not to comment on it and he's only making himself look daft trying to gee up the tunnel club.
Don't want to sound ungrateful as I love the guy and we're very fortunate to have him. I think we all just have to accept he's very ignorant to the changing demographic of those in attendance and the repercussions City fans face from his comments.

Absolutely spot on from Big Steve 10 minutes or so in here. Take note Soriano, Pep and Khaldoon you can have a positive effect on atmosphere if want to...
I agree with a lot of this but I wonder what Steve thinks about more than half SS3 saying nothing until we’re three up?

Maybe on Saturday if the whole ground made the noise we made against Munich and Real we might have got us over the line. We’ve all been there when the crowd has made a difference. Too many fans just couldn’t be bothered.

This is a brilliant post, but I don’t think anybody at the club will tell Pep not to comment on things.I genuinely don't think he understands how much his comments piss people off.

The regime we have in place wanted him from Day One, everything has been built around him. I think Soriano and co. view him as bigger than the club.
As for the media team, they either don’t tell him how these comments will be used by the very same journalists who hate us (not to mention fans and rivals) or they do tell him and he disregards it.
Fair play, he’s taken us to unprecedented heights. I love him for that. But on this particular issue, he digs out the fanbase at least 2 or 3 times a season and it’s extremely tone deaf for the reasons you’ve outlined above.

Steve is saying what we’ve been posting about for seasons/years.
It’s falling on deaf years.
The on-going priority is driving match day revenue, and that will continue.
