we definitely have the worst club shop and line of products available in the PL
We have a depressingly numerous contingent of fans who seem to hate Manchester United more than they love Manchester City and I hold them in utter contempt.
I have no time for the nonsensical "sportswashing" narrative, but find many City fans disingenuous with regard to their take on the majority ownership of the club. IMO, the emirate of Abu Dhabi clearly uses MCFC to some degree as an instrument of soft power and the club does benefit from the almost unique closeness of its relationship to the centre of power in AD. I see it as legitimate for rival clubs to seek to have governing bodies monitor that relationship and for governing bodies to act in response to such lobbying (though in the matter that ended up before the CAS, UEFA and rival clubs went way beyond any legitimate regulatory interest).
While I loved Maine Road as it was when I started going to watch City in the seventies, the soul of the place was ripped out in the redevelopment of the 1990s. It became an embarrassing shithole whose manifest decline epitomised the mismanagement of the club down the years. I couldn't wait to leave and am glad it was knocked down.
I felt sorry for Nigel Clough and thought he took a lot of unwarranted stick during his time with us. We lacked pace and width when we bought him, so he was clearly the wrong man at the time. Blame the people who decided to sign him and make him our best-paid player when his lack of suitability for our requirements shouldn't have needed the benefit of hindsight to be identified.
Tony Coton was driven out of the club and I don't blame him AT ALL for his decision to join Manchester United.
I have some more that I suppose could be viewed as contentious, but the above are the ones that I suspect will definitely be the most unpopular.

Guardiola overthinks far too often in big games.

I agree with all of that.You believe that 100 %?
Liverpool have never scored 90 + league goals under Klopp, City have scored 95 + league goals 3 times under Pep, and 100 + league goals twice.
Liverpool's games may be more exciting to watch in the sense in which it is more interesting to watch less predictable than more predictable games. Liverpool's games are more open than ours, they concede more chances than us and thus are less in control of games than us. That is, they take more risks than us, without scoring more goals, though. City may be less exciting to watch in the sense that City dominate games more than Liverpool. That is, because City are better than Liverpool :)
City are better than Liverpool.
But Liverpool are more exciting to watch.

2 is because the better European teams at that time were running rings around him at the back of the midfield due to his lack of mobility in tight areas.What ms your reasoning behind points 2 and 5 ?
5 is because Pep was lined up to join us at the end of the 2012 season but negotiations were stopped when we won the league. I've gone over this earlier in the thread if you can be bothered.

I believe 100%, City's ambition is to win every availble trophy in one of the upcoming seasons......and its very unpopular with fans of other clubs. MCFC the club that loves breaking records.

City fans have become shit.
Older fans miss being shit and success doesn't suit them.
Younger fans are entitled shitbags that don't know what difficult times are.
Maine Road also had shit loads of empty seats.
We're not a fanbase that likes to sing and create partisan or hostile atmospheres. We never will be so stop trying. We need to stop referring to the Hamburg game as we're basically admitting we managed a good atmosphere in one game out of hundreds.
We need to accept we're not a huge fanbase and embrace it. Then it won't antagonise when fans/media use it against us.
We should enjoy every second of Pep because we'll revert to one of the top 4/5 when he leaves.
