Yes I suppose I can and will certainly consider that in future. They will, of course, go somewhere else for their comments

I personally wouldn't give them anything at the moment the way there treating our Club, we all know that what you say they'll spin it as a negative.

For clarification

I haven't worked for MCFC in over 4 years

I do not dye my hair (who would dye their hair grey ?)

The ear-ring went some time ago

I have had a season ticket since 1973 so have suffered the pain and enjoyed the pleasure of City like the rest on here. I love this Club and all it represents

Can I ask on what authority you have taken it upon yourself to speak for the fan base at large, I spoke to a number of people at the game yesterday and most seemed sorry that, if true it hadn't worked out for him and what's more sad that he might be leaving. I WOULD AGREE THAT'S NOT A VIEW HELD BY EVERYBODY, but to claim that you don't think anybody is heartbroken about him going, is foolish and plain wrong. To me, it seems that this is again a case of an official from the OSC taking it upon himself to become a mouthpiece for the rest of us without giving a seconds thought to our view, although perhaps this time unknowingly.

Fair play to you Kevin. I know personally anyone criticism in this thread from myself only relates to the comments to the BBC. The club would be a lot poorer without the involvement of individuals such as yourselves and your commitment to the club and what's in it's best interests is unquestionable.

I do think as fans we should pull together and defend individuals such as Robinho a bit more. It must be the fifth time Ive harped on about this on three different thread's today but I cannot believe the witch hunt towards him and unfortunately I think some fans have bought into it also. Im not saying he has been great in every game far from it, and as fans we can judge him on that. But criticisms of his attitude, conduct etc. Well there being fuelled by what is reported in the media, which has an anti-city agenda.

Kevin's the General Secretary of the Official Supporters Club, and his name and contact details are on the OSC site.

If you're a reporter and wanted a 'fans view' on an issue, logic would send them to the Official Supporters Club website to see if they have a spokesman. They would get Kevins number off there. Journalists, as we all know, are lazy. They won't bother ringing around more than one City fan to get an opinion, or try to judge the majority view. They would simply ask one person a view, and pass it off as the 'fans view'.

I don't think Kevin is saying he speaks for the fans at large, but is merely offering an opinion on issues when asked.

Let's face it, it's all dying out (the OSC 'way' of doing things...)
Has always historically been made up of 'old men' on committees, who feel 'important' because they are allowed to make decisions as to whether they have a meat pie supper, or bingo.
'1949' is the year they are all still living in.

Not like that at the "Blues in Bandit Country" OSC in Stretford, can say without doubt that Terry and Cliff to mention two, run a cracking supporters club, and would recommend to anyone.

Cheers Trig, we do our best. The cheques in the post,lol.

Being General Secretary of the Official Supporters gives no authority to speak for the fanbase of any club let alone one that has more than one supporters club AND in a day and age when most people that follow the club aren't even in either! And the use of the word ANYBODY ropes us all in.
