I'm with you on this! The club lacks leadership and direction and it has since Gary Cook left. We don't hear a peep out of the Sheik or Khaldoon except his end of year address. The club is getting shafted by the officials on the field and social and mainstream media off it. We keep hearing we, the fan's have to do x y and z well how about someone at the club starting to do the same?
Because they're not City fans, they don't get it. It's just a job for them which they don't perform very well. We need Prestwich Blue at the head of it taking them on.
Totally agree with you @paulchapo for all of Garry Cook's foot in mouth moments, no one could ever accuse him of not fighting the club's and the fan's corner. I don't think it's the Sheikh or Mansour's job to be dealing with the gutter-press though, mate. They're a bit above that. But it certainly should be within Sorriano's remit to make sure we have a solid PR strategy that engages fans and creates a positive image of the club.
I am sure in his performance review's Khaldoon will take note of the good work Sorriano has done commercially. Well I hope he also takes not of the disasterous work he has done in terms of fan engagement with the club, and wider PR strategy. We've gone backwards 20 years to the days of Swales on that front.
We used to get loads of press under Cook, not all of it positive, but we got a damn site more positive back then than we do now. City was a "story" back then. The sleeping giant awakening. The Noisy Neighbours out to ruin the party. The team that could outplay you at football and out fight you if that's what you wanted. Now the press don't really give a shit about us. Even with the biggest name manager in the world. They only bother to report on us if it's a story taking the piss out of our attendances, or our fan's lacklustre support!
Something has gone horribly wrong with our PR strategy over the last 4 years, it needs to be torn up and started again.
@manchester blue I don't think they even need to be City fans to get it. Garry Cook wasn't really a City fan, but he always stood up for the fans because he was proud to represent the club. He engaged with the fans so he was very well liked. If people criticised the fans or the club, he'd come out and defend us because he had the attitude that we had each other's back.
Sorriano has gone out of his way to completely disassociate himself from City fans. Drive as big a wedge between the fans and the club as he can. So he's detached from us. He probably doesn't feel we've got his back, so in turn he's not got ours. He's made a huge error in not engaging with the fans more. He's used to the culture of a Super-Club owned by it's members with all of the politics that are involved in that. City are rather different. We're a local, family club really - our match going fan base is in the main anyway. We want to feel involved. We want to get our view across and feel like we're being valued and listened to. A questionnaire a month devised by SAP isn't going to cut it I'm afraid.

tried to book two more seats together but not available , only single seats left , this will be sold out by Saturday just wonder if Sky will run the "City have sold out" on a 24 hour loop , like there "City struggling to sell tickets" headline .The Daily Fail-ure will no doubt be congratulating our loyal fan base on another magnificent effort supporting our club when the F.A. cave in to the BBC's kick off time demands at our expense and inconvenience.
Would be ironic of we do get to the final , and we told the BBC to f*ck off you are'nt welcome near our players or management , they've sucked up to the Rags all season , looks like they might have backed the wrong horse televising every round of the scum cup campaign , BBC Salford Quays might be Red , but Manchester will ALWAYS be blue.

Go for four singlesJust put a request for 4 tickets into the website, only three blocks remaining including restricted view and it says request can not be fulfilled so assuming ticket site is not working or less than 4 tickets available.
Update, now showing about 8 blocks, apart from 2 they are all restricted views (as low as £20), but only single seats left. It's got to sell out today, it doesn't usually bother me but the negative press has been shocking, just want to sell out to shove it up em.
Yep
yep, correct mate, got mine nice and early but just had a text asking if I can get 4 more, passed details on, cheers.Go for four singles
Round about blocks 530 and upwards, cat 4, £20, it costs £12 to get into Stalybridge Celtic!Whereabouts are the restricted view seats? Didnt realise there were any at the new Wembley.
