Taking our Owners for Granted!

I also don't think it was unexpected.
I'd seen or heard little to suggest any form of presentation was going to be made after the match until the full time whistle went. It sounded to me like they tried to think of what they could throw in to keep people behind, but after the U18s failed. A big "please stay behind to thank Pelligrini" announcement might have swayed some.

I didn't stay, but from what I heard, there was a 10-15 minute gap before the players came back out - surely they could have stayed on the pitch at the end.... at least it would have told people that something was going to happen.

those 3 points don't really take our owner for granted though, most of the moaning on here is about
1. sorano's cold corporate attitude to the fans with his lack of acknowledgement or empathy with what he probably considers consumers or stakeholders.
2.tixi's somewhat failed transfer dealings and stalking of pep for 4 years.
3. pellers inability to manage a decent squad of players and talented youth side to be able to compete on several fronts as other top european clubs seem to be able - athletico a prime example.

Not seen any real negative comments on khaldoon or Shiekh Mansour or taking what he has done for us for granted, I expect he probably feels let down by these people too as they have failed in some aspects of their roles ( cannot slag sorano for his expansion of the group profile nycfc, melbourne etc).

I would say people take it for granted that having a wealthy owner guarentees success and act a little precious if we don't win every week.

1. Soriano has done an excellent job of bringing money in left right and centre, making city more and more self sustainable e.g Nike, China, New York etc. etc. I really don't care if he doesn't smile enough

2. Txiki just landed us the best manager in world football right now as well as de bruyne, ferni, sterling (whatever your opinion to how well he as done, when we bought him he was the most desirable English player going)

3 . totally agreed
 
Read this forum only a few years but can't remember anyone complaining about the ownership. Or even Chairman, really.

The negativity and complaining in general? That's the internet. Or "football fans." I read the 'Cafe after their WHU loss and thought "these people are truly hateful and negative." Or the more or less perennial Wenger hatred on the Arsenal sites. Or any club, really.

I also think our owners are savvy enough to have someone monitoring this forum to gauge fans opinion.

I'm sure they are running around looking for a leaving present for Yaya and the receipt for Sterling. ;-)
I wouldn't necessarily say this forum and the views expressed here are 100% inline with ones shared by blues when you see them and chat at the ground. Bluemoon is hardly unified as far as opinion is concerned - we can't even agree on muffin or barm.

On sorano I acknowledged his great work in expanding the group and brand, however football is an emotive sport and his complete lack of engagement with the fans is frustrating to some, not arsed if he smiles but at least speak to the fans from time to time. I also acknowledge his brief is bigger than just one club and so he cannot be as hand on as cook was.

Txiki bringing in 3 top players (I think sterling is gonna be one of our best signings btw in time) doesn't make up for his other transfer business, and getting pep as great as it is but if that was his remit then he has only done what he's paid for really. Tbf I don't have a problwm with him his buys that have frustrated may improve with a better manager just like bobby improved nige, zab and kompany etc whom hughes wasted.

Anyway this thread was about balancing the critism of HRH, but I would say that he hasn't been critised but, sorano and txiki whether rightly or wrongly have.
