Because Pep would've come in earlier?

Guardiola is disliked by a sizeable section of City's older support, they just don't have the balls to say it out loud unless pissed up or in the immediate aftermath of a defeat.

Mancini was the luckiest manager in Premier League history
YaYa Toure was the reason we struggled for so long in the Champions League
Some of our fans have inferiority complexes
Txiki Begeristain is one of the best directors of football in the world.
If Aguero hadn't scored against QPR we'd have won the Champions League by now
Winning the Champions League is more important than the Premier League
Haha. All the shots fired in one post. I like it a lot!
While we're on a roll:
The lengths some of our fans go to to defend our owners against "the media" and opposition supporters is embarrassing. There's a difference between sticking up for your football club and coming across a massive sycophant for billionaires who will never know you exist.
At the Etihad, during live games, black players on our team receive a level of criticism that's far more intense and incessant compared to the criticism our non-black players receive. Jesus Navas is the only non-black player to receive similar levels of abuse and he scored 2 goals across three seasons.
We're definitely spoilt as a fanbase now.
The "empty seats" banter is total nonsense but the jibes about our atmosphere are true. The introduction of the 3rd tier and the increase in season ticket prices since 2012 have both contributed to a less hostile, more middle class, more relaxed mood in the ground. I'm one to talk, sitting in the North Stand, but the point stands.
The club has been purposefully disconnecting itself from proper fans for years. There was a happy medium between 2009 and 2012 under Garry Cook but as soon as Ferran Soriano came in and took over the commercial side of the club, fan engagement has absolutely tanked. He doesn't give a shiny fandango about us.

I’m confused by about 75% of the posts in this thread…
Did people miss the last part of the Thread title??
“ What are your unpopular opinions on City that you believe 100%?”
I understand people posting outsider bullshit opinions about City, but do the posters BELIEVE the bullshit???

i think it is nigh on impossible to take individuals and give them a 'most' or 'best' label. Where would Kun stand without Silva? How effective would Silva have been without someone to put away his creativity? And we have to be careful when we label 'cos it might be that we end up with just focussing on a minuscule of 'talent'! I think Dias is the best defensive CB we have. Stones and/or Laporte might be more complete 'footballers' creatively but when you are up against some attacking ambition I would want Dias in the back line. Yaya was immense and scored goals single-footedly from almost anywhere, but who gave him the last pass? It's a team game, and we currently have a squad that is seamlessly sewn together with invisible thread. Take one out, and another brilliant option is available.Some of my "unpopular" opinions amongst other fellow City fans:
- Laporte and Stones are both more talented CBs than Dias.
- Gundo is our best midfielder
- Sterling is our best attacking player
- Yaya was the most influential signing we've made since the takeover.
What are some of your guys' unpopular opinions?

I believe every one 100% mate as you well know. I almost threw one in about Nasri being rubbish but I think that one's not controversial any more. Hope you're well!Haha. All the shots fired in one post. I like it a lot!
Actually that's reminded me of another from back in the day which I stand by: Garry Cook was an embarrasment to the club.

Agree with this one too but i'd say it's not only the old ones, it's the old and stupid ones.Guardiola is disliked by a sizeable section of City's older support, they just don't have the balls to say it out loud unless pissed up or in the immediate aftermath of a defeat.
