City Treble documentary | Club sell rights to Netflix for seven figure sum | To be aired in April (p5)

So what would you do different?

Sign a lucrative sponsorship with a local knitting machine and calculator manufacturers.

Get rid of owning the rights to the badge and have a souvenir shop not owned by the club.

Sign international standard goalkeeper from Watford and ensure he never plays for England to avoid paying transfer add ons the fee.

Khaldoon has a lot to learn from the Swales playbook.
 
You cannot please all of the people all of the time is very evident from comments here but i been around Bluemoan enough to know this is the norm.

The programme is what it is, a simple showing of the incredible season we had.

I have watched a few episodes and what i have taken is how much Pep himself loves this club.

The episode where the 115 charges are announced he is seen later in the middle of the players in the changing room and he tells them from now on they will do a huddle before games, he tells them how much he loves City, he says he does not know why but he does, he tells them they have won everything on the pitch and deserve respect.

That there was what won us the treble and I for one feel honoured and blessed to have him as our manager.

Pep now gets us. It took him a while but he genuinely loves the club. Like us he doesn't know why but he does lol. There's something about it, which is why we stuck with it in the dark times. It's why lots of ex players still have affection for the club years later, even if they were only here a short while. I think the shit we've had to.put up with has helped, he's a Catalan after all.
 
On the first one now with the initiation songs. That World Cup completely fucked my timeline up as I was sure Alvarez came before Haaland. Yet there they are.

So far, so good. Fridge full of goodies.
 
Are you suggesting there are 62,000 core supporters in and around Manchester that can afford 2 tickets per week?

Those “plastics” help fund the club at full price. They buy tat from the shop and they do things like Club Tours and hospitality.

We LIVE bragging that we are the most successful commercial club in the world, which allows us to not worry about FFP anymore and buy top, top talent from all over the world, YET we complain about a few thousand tickets going to our growing global fan base???

Been around this roundabout before, but City season cards have been better value for money than anyone else’s for a decade. The club put a 3rd tier on the South Stand and broadened the hospitality. They’re building a hotel and another tier at the North Stand, while making a Fan Zone that can hold 3,000 fans. Who do you think is going to book some of those extra seats and hotel rooms? Locals who get their pints from a local boozer before and after the game and never spend a penny at the ground or punters who flew in from Singapore for a once in a lifetime trip to see City in real life and spend a few thousand quid on the experience?

Lastly, just what constitutes a “plastic,” as I want to make sure that as a match goer since the late 60’s, but now living overseas and not able to see as many games as I’d like, I want to try to stay on the “real fan” side of the fence and not be a “plastic.”
You're banging your head against a wall mate, the ones moaning want dog shit alley, shite beer, wading through piss, shit team and a dog burger at half time...all because "the plastics are ruining it for me" thank fuck the club doesn’t think the same
