Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

I genuinely never anticipated some degree of disappointment towards the best manager in the world wanting to stay in shitty rainy Manchester for longer than three years?

It would sadly seem the full metamorphosis of many a City fan is now fully complete?

A self-entitlement which has leeched its way in from the days of "we'll buy your club, and burn it down", to being now totally blinded as to what it means to be a supporter of this club in the first instance?

The team isn't performing but players will always come and go.

Unfortunately, we seem stuck with a majority of fans who don't even seem to enjoy being a City fan these days, which bizarrely seem to deliver its own contentment?

It's seemingly the older fans, too? Not the younger ones, but the ones who have shown amazing loyalty during the shittiest of times, yet now feel like the club is their own little fiefdom/drinking club and just have to sit back and await its rewards?

It's a two-way street. Pep is backing his entire career and reputation on doing the business for us.

It's a while since I felt we were actually backing both the manager of the club and its team.

I agree. In particular, the analogies of 'fiefdom' and 'drinking clubs' ring true to me, as does the profile of those supporters.

I now hear more moaning from Blues on matchday (before, during and after the game) than I did during the days when we struggled and were a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

I sometimes dread sitting near a group of Blues (those around mid-40s and 50s I.e those who would have stuck with the club through thin and thin) in a boozer or on a train on matchday. Almost everything I over hear is whinging about the club, players and manager. In some cases, it's almost as if they try to out whinge each other.

A lot of fans say the media are against us, the refs have it in for us, the f a, and e u f a,
Now we have our own fans turning against us.
Other fans read blue moon and are rightly saying we are shit fans, the team and club need us to get behind them starting on Saturday.

true^^^^^


media gave pellegrini a very hard time while here too, it s the norm. media=tw@ts.
 
Given the scale of the task facing him, I certainly hope Guardiola stays longer than three years and there are encouraging signs that he will. Think this summer will be a huge one in the development of the club, with the amount of players out of contract. It'll give us significant leeway in the transfer market, particularly in terms of wages. Still think Messi is a pipe dream though!

Great post mate and it sums up how fucked up our 'supporters' are at the moment. Is there anything they like/enjoy about following the blues.

Great post. I think we're the luckiest club in the world - but now we seem to have the shittiest fans. Unless more & more scum are invading this site

It's getting a bit tiresome this ageist bullshit about "the 40-50 year old dinosaurs that infest our club" syndrome. "The demographic of our support is too old", "the moaning stereotypical old farts should be more grateful" blah blah fucking blah.

I've heard plenty of 20-30 something's moaning, plenty of teenagers moaning, mostly about the wi-fi interweb thingy - if that's the correct term?...not sure if it is...being 50 and soaked in piss..

You mention that you hear it more now than you used to when we were shit, so by inference you're a bloke of a certain age?

Football fans moan, it's in the DNA, not just the reserve of City fans. I live in Leicester for my sins and there's plenty of Foxes fans moaning down here let me tell yer. Despite what their club gave them last year.

'tis football mate, and certainly not down to the "ageing" Maine Road faithful who've done the hard yards..

Now, where did I put my spare colostomy bag?

great post. some of our fans just moan all the time about everything. they dont even enjoy going anymore. its bizarre though because we've never had it so good. self entitlement is a good word to use. they've forgotten how to support the team and wait to be entertained. older fans in particular id agree with, ones that were there when we were shit are seemingly the ones the worst ones for moaning.

blue moon doesnt represent our match going fan base, but you only have to look at the match day thread on here. the sheer anger and almost hatred of even ageuro at times is pure toxic. people need t start just enjoying watching us again. wether we lose, draw or win, lets get behind the team and have some fun watching us.

Thats unfair on the City fanbase as a whole, its no different than at any other PL club, booing Fellaini at Old Toilet, Claude going fucking apeshit on Arsenal TV about Wenger, Newcastle fans getting managers sacked every six months-its bollocks that our club is any different to any other big club.The atmosphere at City has hardly changed since we came to this stadium bar the odd exception for a big game.

The fans have hardly changed-its the game thats changed and the obscene amounts of money being slung about for average couldnt give a fuck players, you cant con the fans with half arsed effort and workrate and its been sadly lacking at City far too often in the past three or four seasons.

Messi would score 30 goals a season and make a huge difference to a team that is still reliant on Aguero.

Jermain Defoe scores for fun...think about that.

You also maybe fail to legislate on the mental edge he would give us and how opponents approach us?

Messi has been below par this season and still scored three times against us.

So has Jamie Vardy.........

So funny. Apologies a debate with you was not my number one priority last night, I had to prep to do for work.

Please remind me of the question.

Whilst we're at it, my username is a nickname for over 30 years but I know it suits your narrative that I'm Garry Cook's number one better.

A better trained eye would know I've had this username since well before Cook even joined City but I know you struggle with fiction and fact.

Unfortunately this entitled attitude increasingly prevails across so many threads

Bunch of moaning boo-boys - with really shallow ways in demonstrating support for our club. No point suggesting they grow a pair - that would be far too much of a challenge

I would suggest that the sorts of supporters that reflect being 'true fans of the club' rather than shallow spoilt brats will just have to accept that these types are growing in number. I guess this is what happened over the years at the swamp
