What are your unpopular opinions on City that you believe 100%?

Improved when Garcia replaced Fernandinho as the 6.

Fern played in more away games than Garcia even after Christmas and the only one we lost in that period was at Liverpool. We were rubbish away no matter who played for the first 4 months or so. Negredo gets a lot of plaudits but he was no where near as good away as he was at home.

That 13/14 team was our worst title winning side in my view.
 
When the New ESL (or whatever they decide to call it) begins the Elite History clubs will find a way of including us but we won't get a fare share of the revenue, due to being the first ones out last time and therefore being the ones who ruined V1 or being state owned or a combo of the 2.
Whatever, I'm expecting a big stitch up.

The Etihad is not fit for purpose and the owners are short changing us by not giving us a state of the art stadium like Spurs

The owners don't give a fuck about the fans, per the numerous ticket fiascos and mistreatment of supporters.

The club has been poorly run to draw so many controversies and legal battles, let alone our inability to get the Dippers dealt with on a legal basis and PGMOL in line.

Sterling has cost us 2 CLs (Lyon and Chelsea)

Gundogan, Rodri and Bernardo should be our first choice midfield.

Our women's team should be undisputedly the best team in English football and it's a complete failure, given the developmental nature of the game, that we haven't annihilated the game with our resources and become the Liverpool/Rags in stature in the Women's game to bring on board the next generation of female fans.

The academy stadium is rubbish and too cold.

Not sure that second paragraph belongs on any thread about 'unpopular opinions'.
 
I have a few:
  • I don't doubt for one second there was some creative accounting going on in the early days of FFP. I also don't care because it was a corrupt rule aimed right at us.
  • I love him, but Mancini has some serious flaws as a manager. His club managerial career after City proves that. The Italian national team is perfect for him because the players aren't around long enough for him to piss them off to the point of revolt.
  • Kompany is one of my favorite players, but there was something off about him. Nothing malicious, maybe he is just a weird guy.
  • Foden is developing some troubling off the field behavior and would be getting far more criticism for that and his inconsistent year if he wasn't local. Nothing in itself is a major red flag but he just seems quite immature to me. Which on one hand is fair, on the other he's nearly 22, has kids, and a high profile professional career and needs to act like it.
  • Pearce playing James up top absolutely worked. If that had been made by a less clueless manager it would've been praised.
  • Sven was not a great manager for us. The second half of his year in charge we were absolutely miserable to watch, in relegation form, and he never adapted.
  • Mpenza was one of the most important signings in recent memory. His goals kept us up. Without them, there's no Thaskin takeover, and who knows where we'd be now.
  • If, *if*, Pep and the club brass knew about Mendy and continued to keep him in the squad, that deserves loads of criticism. There's innocent until proven guilty, and "this guy has nine rape allegations against him".
Thanks for joining my Ted Talk.

I'm all for respecting personal opinions but I'm somewhat baffled by your third bullet point. If you're aware of some dark secret concerning Vinny, then please share it with us. Otherwise, I'm not sure it's fair or appropriate to pass judgement purely based on what sounds like nothing more than a gut feeling.
