You might be right but it’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying we are better off with Pep reputation wise not comparing him to past players.

Those pesky scousers managed to jib in an extra 6,000 supporters and still got them included in the stated attendance?. I was told 7,000 tickets unsold, split evenly between the home and away sections . 55,000 capacity minus 3,500 away fans, minus 3,500 City fans gives us 48K attendance not the media’s reported 38K. Liverpool’s attendance was given as 2,500 above the grounds capacity including a big Milan support.

I get it but you also talked about how half of our current players joined because of Pep. It's not like we haven't had world class players before him. That's why I mentioned those 4 names as those players had way more impact than the players Pep has bought.You might be right but it’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying we are better off with Pep reputation wise not comparing him to past players.

Yes that’s fair enough.I get it but you also talked about how half of our current players joined because of Pep. It's not like we haven't had world class players before him. That's why I mentioned those 4 names as those players had way more impact than the players Pep has bought.
The main point remains Pep has done more good for our reputation than bad.
The 38k must have come from City but it was clearly wrong. I reckon it was 48k too.

Not saying anything particularly original here but city's fan base recruitment took a hit in the 80s and 90s especially when the club was in turmoil and was kept going by older blues. These older blues including myself are going to need replenishing with younger fans and at matches my impression is a lot of younger faces are starting to appear but it's going to take time to build and for these to bring their kids.

Again, I disagree with the bolded part. We are already one of the most hated clubs in the world and I don't think the media cares who our manager is. However, when Pep says things like low attendance or Rags and Dippers being bigger clubs, he is not actually helping our reputation imo.Yes that’s fair enough.

Not sure Marvin. I thought it was around 40k.
