Simple Question: Do you trust our owner?

[twosips]

Some of the threads today are bordering on ridiculous, plenty of people wanting to stick the boot into the club and all too ready to end decades of love.

City are an institution, they are separate from any individual.

Same people weirdly who also support players over their clubs.

We would be out of business if it wasn't for our owner and the stewardship of Khaldoon.

I think people are finally, fully realising the club simply doesn't care about them. It's sinking in. Can you blame them?

think people are pissed off and rightly so.
I still don't think this will happen and sense will prevail however.

Well said. They've turned on it in a matter of seconds.

I've had a post that said 'yes I'm backing my club' changed to 'yes I'm backing Mansours franchise'. I have to wonder if that poster was going mental like the rest of us on 93:20 - all funded by said Sheikh Mansour.

When has a football club ever cared about its supporters, genuinely?

They have always been businesses, throughout the ages.

It's not a mutual contract, you get zero promises as a supporter.

The club care enough, to the extent they want to see it successful, which is generally what the average supporter craves.

This... it’s a tough one... teams like Everton and Villa have been shafted but many of them in time might prefer to be in the SL longer term than left behind in a sub par PL. there’s no winners in this.

Disagree, the club is it's supporters with out them a club is empty, no identity.

Modern football is alienating the match going fan, very sad, the matchday fan should always come before the tv fans, always.

Not interested in the players, they come and go, they are hugely rewarded, most of them don't give a toss about the shirt, but in the last 10 years we have been incredibly lucky to have a few players, from all parts of the world, who do care, do get this club.

Football without it's true fans is devoid of emotion as we have seen during the covid crisis, without emotion, football is nothing.

We watched a pathetic spectacle on Saturday, a once proud competition, now reduced to a training game, in which both teams seeded aggrieved to even be taking part.

I think the deal is absolutely amazing business for City.
I also think it’s terrible business for the rest of football.
I’m out

Maybe the impersonal way City have regularly booted people out of their seats to accommodate UEFA or the corporate tiger should have given us all a clue. I’m not mad at City - I think this just confirms that I love the club but the club isn’t and never has been run for mine or any fans benefit. I’ve had a season ticket for 30 plus years but that buys me nothing other than the opportunity to attend games - anyone who thinks otherwise was always going to be disappointed at some point.

For being deluded by their own ego's and sense of importance?

Sorry mate but the club care for you in the same way that Asda care about you as a customer.

Forums are full of reactionary one-eyed people, mate. Always have been and always will be. Plenty of fans don’t want this to happen but from what I can see the sensible ones understand that City are between a rock and a hard place here.

Its definitely a double sided coin for City and the top brass will know this. On the plus side it cements the club into the “elite” forever and ensures a return on Mansour’s investment. On the flip side it evens up the transfer market for our competitors.

Theres a lot to play out here yet.
