We are NOT Man City..

Fucking hell. I'll have to add this to my list of problems now. I need a whisky.

 

[BillyShears]

We are Manchester City

Or

Manchester City FC

Or

Manchester City Football Club

Or Even

MCFC


But we are NOT Man City

It's lazy..and how we are known by other clubs fans

The club needs to change this

Anyone else with me?

No. What a time to be alive and be a Blue. Lets focus on the positives at least for a few days. You can raise this again when the season starts. ;)

I'm in. I hate the Trevor Francis, Niall Quinn, Craig fuckin Burley 'MAN City'.

I've never liked the term 'Man City'. It's 'City' or 'Manchester City' for me.

You wouldn't type Manchester City out though would you. More effort. City is ambiguous. mcfc, or mancity.

mancity is the most recognisable short abbreviation.

When talking, we'd use City, MCFC, Manchester City, and then occasionally mcfc, but we're not talking, we're finding/typing stuff into browsers, therefore mancity is the most logical and obvious name to use.

I'm out - we've always been Man City to me.

Man City Soccer Team also works (calm down, I'm joking).

Dropping the FC from everything was a move the rags did 20 years ago - we laugh at them for it, and now we are defending our own for doing it? Odd double standards.

For the record to me it's just plain 'City'

To be honest I don't care what fans like Man City

It's the fact the club itself have adopted the abbreviation

That's my issue..seriously it's like the club are trying to be hip

Like a dad going through a midlife crisis and trying to get down with the kids

It's all just a bit cringe

The single word 'City' is far too generic for website/search engine optimisation.

Exactly. It's just a technical matter of use and making the site easy to find /use.

Over time the way we refer to City might change a bit. People will be less likely to use the germ MCFC, but who cares about that. This is just a tag.

When I'm talking I use City, MCFC or Manchester City, but this isn't talking, it's shorted text

Alternatively they could just be trying to evolve. I realise that for A LOT of people change is tantamount to death, but there's nothing wrong with change. City have taken far too much stick from moaning supporters about the changes they are making at the club, when most of them are for the betterment of everyone who supports the club no matter where they may be.

Today's Pep's first day at work man and you're moaning about this like it's important. SMH.

That was my instant reaction too, but having read a few comments I see the point. Just a quicker way of getting to what you want which is what tags, abbreviations are all about.
