I am at a loss to understand why any of us should be upset because of our so called spend.
Spend of course infers wasteful frittering of money whereas we are actually investing in players with the intention of increasing revenue thereby increasing our profits.


Surely this is something to be proud of.

Any other sector of business would be reporting our investment with pride that a UK company is ploughing its profits into the future. Compare our investment with Sky and BT´s spend on live PL football which needs a massive subscriber base to break even.

If any criticism of our investments are made by indoctrinated football supporters I take great delight in thanking them for noticing that Man City are investing in the future using self sustaining profits with a view to making bigger profits in the future without any debt.
Then I ask them how come their club is not doing the same.
 
Luckhurst is an utter twunt, he's fell lucky writing social media pro rag shite for a few years and has been elevated to 'journalist' with his MUEn columns, he's nothing more than a fan deliberately writing click bait pro rag anti City. He's also despised by some decent Rags I know. If it help he's on twitter and is very sensitive to getting pulled up on his shite writing
The Manchester Evening News ongoing campaign to mock the majority of its customers in Manchester appears to be paying dividends. Circulation figures out today show that it is the second worst performing newspaper in the UK with its sales down 18.9 per cent compared with last year. No amount of online clicks from its overseas army of rag fans can mask that shocking result. A bit of Karma I think for all those red circles.
 
I really don't understand how it has got to this point; how we have become an absolute pariah in the eyes of practically every media outlet in the country.

Apart from gatecrash the Big 4 party in 2012, we haven't actually done anything wrong. Yet the disparity on reporting is stark.

Imagine Pep goes to the Scum or the dippers: Under Pep's management they spend the same amount of money we have spent to rebuild their team, he would be hailed a team building genius without even having kicked a ball.

We have a number of players out or contract at the end of last season, forcing us to spend big in the current transfer market and we are constantly labelled as oil money big spenders who have single handedly ruined football as we know it (even though it is clear for all to see the Scum have broken more transfer records in the PL since they signed Camel Gob); damned if we win, damned if we don't.

A good mate is a Millwall fan. I watched their play-off final on TV and was amazed at how much it sounded like a recent City commentary. Everything they did, however good it was, was met with negatives. Everything was because the opposition was bad, not that Millwall were good. Maybe we are the new Millwall?
"We are City, super City, no one likes us, we don't care!"
 
You're right Oakie, it is becoming an obsession with Sly Sports News.

*As Bournemouth prepare to host Manchester City on Saturday, live on Sky Sports, we take a look at the stark contrast in transfer money spent by the Premier League sides…

With Pep Guardiola aiming to better the third-place finish his side managed during his first season at the helm, Manchester City have spent more money during this summer's transfer window than Bournemouth have in their 118-year history*

I admit I could be wrong, but if it was United playing Bournemouth instead of City, do you honestly think their spending under Jose would have been used in the report? We all know the answer to that, don't we. No!

PS.

I'm obsessed with you as well. ;-)

But do you remember the BBC Sports website article about 18 months ago when Leicester played at the swamp? There was a comparison between the cost of the Leicester team and the cost of...(wait for it)... City's team. That's right. Despite Leicester playing the rags and the rags' team costing more than City's the BBC Sports website compared the cost of their team with City's. You tell me why the fuck they did that if there's no agenda at the BBC.

People wonder what we have done wrong. Something so bad we get hammered.

Well I'll tell you. We became good. We win stuff. We reach finals and the like.

As we do millions of plastic rags the world over go Click and the tv or on line paper radio and even forums are turned off.

Yes we hurt them but we also cost them mega money.

I fucking love it.

Interesting that none of the "there is no agenda" people have commented on this post. They seem to have a tactic of reserving comments for the more outrageous suggestions of media bias and completely ignoring posts relating to incidents of obvious bias. A clever tactic. It makes me wonder which side is actually paranoid???
 
To be fair last weekend when United played Swansea they did a transfer spend comparison on Sky between the two. That surprised me and I was starting to wonder if it was all in my head.

But then I make the mistake of listening to the Guardian Football Weekly Podcast. The clowns on there were adamant that Walker deserved a second yellow because he looked at him. And then.....wait for it.....Aguero should have been given a yellow for simulation when he Schneiderlin was sent off. All the while, no mention of Calvert Lewin rolling around like he'd been uppercut by Anthony Joshua. Oh and how Sane is also on 150k per week and can't take a proper throw in.
