But City have denied a rumour?If City denied one rumour then journos would just keep chucking names out there until we didn’t deny it. Far better to say nothing to it all.

I must admit, if people don’t know the area I’m from I’d likely just jump straight to Manchester rather than messing about with ‘from ‘Stockport.Definitely not City of Manchester. Stockport is one of the other 9 Metropolitan Boroughs that make up the Greater Manchester conurbation.
Being based on an important town, I’d put it in the third tier with people mostly identifying as “Stopfordians” (i. e. from Stockport). I’m sure a fair number would consider themselves Mancs or even “dual nationality”. Particularly City fans!
I could be wrong, particularly as I’ve been away from the area for a number of years.
It’s often the case that someone will say they are from Manchester, or “near Manchester” when they first meet someone from another part of the country or overseas. If they find the person knows the area, they will go on to be more specific.

When there’s no authoritative source who consistently gets it right, the vacuum is there to be filled.Romano has become the number one journalist people look to even some blues on Twitter disregard journalist who are close to city for Romano. He’s become the if Romano tweets it it’s happening. Not just for city news but other clubs to. He’s getting interviews etc has his own twitch channel and merch coming he’s become a brand now his “Here we go” sentence is all that people look for. There are constant replies to tweets on multiple clubs saying Romano didn’t tweet it so this can’t be true, it’s actually scary how much of a brand hes become.
I was in the camp of believing Romano but since studying journalism especially sports and talks with my teacher she showed me how he just guesses. And just puts out what people want to read not what the truth is
That's what the Rags do,Definitely not City of Manchester. Stockport is one of the other 9 Metropolitan Boroughs that make up the Greater Manchester conurbation.

Its similar for Liverpool do you have to be from Liverpool to be a scouse or simply Merseyside - for me its whether they have an annoying accent or not....A lary Scouser once asked me what is all this “Greater Manchester” bollox? Either you’re Manchester or you aren’t.
