Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

Nobody wanted the best manager we've probably ever had to have a dig at the fans, if you think differently you are deluded. Again it's about interpretation. We can go around in circles, his ill advised comments have caused no end of embarrassment to the fans.

He's not had a dig at the fans and he's already clarified that.
Jesus have we merged with mumsnet?
 
. 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 think 4 out of the top 5 threads could be merged it’s about more or less the same subject what’s evident is there’s a growing problem it’s getting worse this isn’t something what’s grown overnight from mid-week it’s something what’s been growing from the last few seasons.
The club seem to be driven to grow into something what most from I can see into something we’re clearly not . The farce from season cards , customer services , the cheesy media department, the kits , every excuse for every last penny to get out of you. I’ll take the emotion out of it as much as I can but from the very top this club needs a wake up call and needs desperately to realign it’s self very quickly.
A victim of our own success quite possibly but the head people need to look and think why they bought us in the first place.

On a side note as an example whoever came up with the city trippy badge needs sacking also who from the club signed it off also . That’s our heritage badge to treat it like some form of a merchandise gain in that way is disgraceful.
It’s about drugs not Manchester City football club. Rant over just had to get it off my chest.
I know some will disagree and that’s fair enough.

But Kevin isn't the boss of me or the multitudes of match going fans who aren't interested, he's no more than a niche union rep and frankly when he opens his mouth he does as much damage sometimes. As I said I'd rather him be all over the board for the more serious issues in and around the match day experience and we all know what they are.

Again. ..deep breath....no he isn't your boss, or mine. I'm not in any supporters clubs. He is though the head of thousands of official supporters clubs throughout the world and as such recognised by the club and the media. That's why sky didn't call you or me up for an interview, they called him.
 
I think he genuinely was asking on Wednesday for more vocal support to raise the players for the Southampton game. But as soon as he came out with his comments I felt bad because I knew how it would play out. The emptyhad and plastic fans stuff which is annoyingly so wrong will be amplified in the media. Fans on here have been moaning about the trouble of trying to get tickets and if you took his comments as criticism of people not doing their bit, then it's not taking into account ordinary people's finances and the effect of the pandemic on them. I felt a bit sorry for Kevin getting called out. Oh well, Pep just wants us to be there and push the team on and I guess we can do that and move on.

Deep breath .... you're just not listening are you? What else would he say? Again ...for the second or third time, it's about interpretation. I saw the interview and in my opinion he was digging the fans out. In yours he wasn't. Nothing more to say
 
If the scsousers say anything to you, send them this. Utd couldn’t sell out their opening fixture Vs Leeds. We must not allow these jealous mugs from various media outlets, or Trafford split our support from the best manager we’ve probably ever had. Tell em all to fuck off, simples.
Cmon City, let’s move forward TOGETHER support the team, the manager and attend the games if you are able.

The problem we face is that supporters of big clubs that aren't doing very well like to themselves that if they were in our position they'd have people hanging from the rafters for Leipzig at home. It's only when you get to our position that you realise how expensive everything is and, with the reasonable expectation of making progress in every cup, a lot of fans are already budgeting and saving for the season.

And all he had to say was not interested and I have brought up my views and therefore those of the official supporters club with the management at the club. But no he throws Pep and a lot more fuel onto the fire and not the smouldering matchstick the whole thing should have been. He deserves fuck all respect.

We'll never agree on this subject.

Odd he seemed a bit surprised he was challenged on what he said, surely both the club and himself must have seen the furore around it.

I thought it was a bit wrong to mention Kevin Parker by name in a slightly mocking tone. Like him or lump him he is the general secretary of the official supporters club and deserves a bit more respect

Deserves respect ? Parker should resign. We already had a media agenda against us. All he’s done is provide more ammo for our rival fans to take the piss which lets be honest is at the heart of this. Nothing good was ever going to come of his comments except negativity.
