They can't get over the fact that their teenage dream, the man with lovely big thighs, the man who as a manager will always feed them a line and make them feel special by telling them 'naughty secrets' about people at his club and why it is their fault and not his, the man they want to see as a mate, was given the boot for being shit.
The fact that it wasn't done in the best way and could also be legitimately criticised in some ways makes it even better for them.
I see the 'Mark Hughes is dignified' shite was rolled out again.
His mates in the media are desperate to spread this lie. Most casual observers therefore swallow it due to the weight of repetition. Unfortunately, some City fans, despite seeing Hughes' undignified use of these numpties to smear anyone and everyone at close hand, swallow it too.
But deep down, journalists like these two (and I don't think anyone can be too concerned because it is obvious to anyone with half a brain, listening to them, that you are not talking about some sort of intelligentsia) know that, just like their hero, they are hypocritical, devious and liars. Just like their hero, trying to paint themselves and their motives and morals as dignified when in fact they and their hero are so intertwined in their deviousness, snide activities and constant soundbite agenda that they know they are anything but dignified.
These blokes are as bad as Hughes because they are the willing facilitators of his pathetic "Hughes is great and never wrong" agenda that his weak personality causes him to push at every opportunity.

Think about this.
If "the Italian" Mancini had been here first and sacked in the way Hughes was, only for Hughes to replace him in exactly the same way with the same records, do you think we would see this constant building up of Mancini's dignity and attacks on Hughes in the press.
You know we wouldn't.
It alls stems from a devious relationship between certain sections of the press and Hughes, combined with some members of the press having a boyhood crush on the man.

But now.. after seeing Nob Beasley in a childish strop when the others were talking about the Chelsea Crisis I could see ours coming, It was one of the most hateful "discussions" I've seen on there on any topic.There was even a dig earlier when reading about an £80m January spree on Dzeko and Carroll?! Woolnough said "How many strikers do they need?" - Well you thick cnut you may have read in the f**kin papers you read from on your show we are looking to get rid of some.. Ade, Santa Cruz, Jo so maybe we can make room for one!!!
I'm not keen on us being hated but I'd also look at it as fear... Keep the Faith

How can the club not be doing something about this?
People listen to the shit and use it to have a go at our club when its mostly fabricated.
fucking wankers shouldnt be able to get away with it. and how dare chelsea or there fans call us for anything!!!
Seriously, since when have a couple of arrogant, know nothing journo's become "the majority of football fans"?
You've bought into their agenda hook, line and sinker.
Of course its funny; i bet that greasy haired fuckwit had no idea who "Yarya" Toure was before he came to us, despite being a big part of Barca's treble winning season.
These guys are paid to sell their morals and write sensationalised stories, for them to then point fingers at the likes of us for having no class... it really is the lowest of the low.
I'll just wait for the next major international competition for them to fall over themselves to undermine our country again, oh great moral tabloid journalists.

No the majority of the football fans i know hate city. even when u read papers online and things, other clubs supporters are saying bad things about us. I have quite a broad set of friends from diffrent teams fanbases and everytime we lose of something happens to us, or about us they are all over facebook with it. even a fucking rochdale fan i know hates us and cant wait to have a go when we lose or draw a game we should win.
Everybody buys in to this stuff, we all even do it on here, soemthing bad about utd in the papers and we love it and buy into every word. Its not that im saying they shouldnt believe it but the club should be sueing the arse off people left right and centre.
