"We Hate You, City, We Do!"

[Balti]

Forgive me, but I'm a bit confused! You, clearly, speak about us in the 'royal we' terms, on here, but you don't go on TV representing 'us', the club or fans, that's fine. So, why do you think you're asked to speak on Man City topics (aside from being a historian)?

I'm honestly curious.

I'm not asked apart from the occasions I mentioned above. I've seen/heard Kevin Parker (rightly representing the Supporters Club), Dave Wallace (KotK), Colin Shindler but I don't get called by the media other than what I've said above. The publicity for the books and the "History Of Football" Channel M series all came from suggestions from me.

On here I will talk about 'us' meaning City/our community because it's within our community so it seems appropriate.

Gary, I am currently about half way through Manchester - a Football History and though I thought I had a decent grasp of our history I am learning lots. It's a brilliant book, educational and entertaining, and you are to be congratulated for it. It's a must have for True Blues imo. Is it stocked in the club shop and if not have you asked if it could be? It certainly should be.......

I'd be more than happy for you to represent 'us' if you start getting those calls.

Re:

For a fucking long time I hated City to !

Reading some of the comments on this forum after a draw, I think a large number of our own supporters hate city too. Its all a bit sad, when all you can read from supposed blues is how shit a/b/c/d are.

Thanks for the comments. The book is in the City store.
