maybe, but tbf lots of lower teams charge ridiculous prices for tickets swell. i think city is still quite good for community stuff especially in east manchester. lots of people thought the same under pearce and started not going. I'm not aiming this at you, but if we started winning again you wouldn't see these complaints as much. we've been spoilt a lot :)
Funny you mention the winning stuff, I find this fucking mental but after we won the league and league cup under Pellegrini I obvs celebrated but literally 30 mins later I'm gone, like don't give a fuck anymore, so much so I remember the season after we beat Liverpool in the ELC final I forgot we won the fucking thing!
I agree City still do a lot for the community, but it seems more PR now then it use to be which doesn't bother me as the local surrounding areas are getting a massive influx of funding.... Tickets are fairy cheap for now, but I feel as though you're not really apart of the club any more, you're a spectator these days more than a member!
I miss seeing that willingness and extra desire players use to get from wearing the shirt as well, not to say none of our players care, but when we use to see Dunne, Weaver, Richards, Dickov.... put the shirt on and have that fire and aggression in their game for the club! Even the players we have now that use to have that flair seem to have lost it Zaba and Vinnie mostly as their aggression and flair for us use to be off the charts, so it's more noticeable now...
I just feel modern day managers what their players to be clean cut, professionals rather than the wear your heart on your sleeve kind of players.... You see it at all the top clubs, you notice it more at clubs like Arsenal and United also, at how uninterested some of their players can look these days.
