Because we're winning on the pitch where it ultimately matters & are innocent until proven guilty?
However if we weren't this successful, few of our sponsors would be arsed about us, but the fans are here & always will be, for better, for worse & it's they're who're emotionally effected by the bullshit being thrown at us..
City have been a major part of my life since 8 years old, so I'm not gonna lie & say the constant carping, accusations of illegality (UEFA/PL rule breaching), doesn't distract from our achievements during our golden era, which seriously pisses me off. It's a golden era I honestly never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
Imagine if City were an innocent immediate family member, whose face kept appearing on the front pages of the newspapers & headlining the news, with spurious claims & accusations every other day. Whether true or not, wouldn't it majorly piss you off too?
After years of being the butt of everyone's jokes, Pep's Manchester City have redefined the way football is played, & changed the English & global game forever with his inverted FB's, playing out from the back & possession based football. From amateur teams, the national team, to our main competitors, they're all following Guardiola's lead.
We've also rewritten the way how a responsible owner should act, & how club executives can become dynamic, class leading entrepreneurs with our global CFG multi-club model.
We've posted the highest football revenues in history, which are more than seven times what they were before HRH rocked up to East Manchester, yet all of these valid achievements are wrapped up in accusations of "City only achieved all this because their brown Muslim owner is a crooked, billionaire oil baron, & an industrial scale cheat".
According to our detractors, this is the only reason we've dominated UK & European football. But if you ask any of them what one of the 115 breaches are, they couldn't tell you, but yet we still only achieved what we have because we're cheats.
Our recent history & achievements will forever be tainted as such, so please have a bit of empathy & understanding toward fans who feel enraged about these insulting sleights, more than others.
Like I said, to some of us, City are a member of the family whom we've invested time, emotions & money that many can ill-afford. It's why it hurts many of us so much.
Just my personal take on it all. )(
