That has a lot to do with their entitlement though. Both their fans and a lot of their staff at all levels of the club.People just hate the teams that are winners...Real Madrid for example. It brings out all the jealousy and bitterness against a team like City who have been bloody brilliant for years. Take it as a compliment and don't worry about it. It's interesting that United, even today, are by far the most hated team.
We did clear them out during the Hughes / early Mancini days :) they’ve always been a selling club though, or at least they have since they got the bill for the Emirates stadium.We're hated because we're successful. We're envied and hated in equal measure because our owners have money to spend and they invest in our club. We're also disliked because there's a sense among some other club fans that we've "stolen" their players - Arsenal fans in particular feel this way.
He was mugged over by the papers and The FA too really.Well if anyone would know about corruption in football it would be him
Yeah but that only applies to fans of other clubsCos we win stuff.
M8 I really think it's money pure and simple.Yeah but that only applies to fans of other clubs
I understand the general football fan of other clubs hating us because we are successful. That’s why a lot of football fans used to hate Man United. That’s alright, I wouldn’t expect anything less, it’s how it should be. I’d probably hate us if I was raised to follow a different club.
but doesn’t really explain or justify why media and people involved in the game seem to have such a dislike for us. If it was down to us winning things, then they wouldn’t have been sucking the cocks of Liverpool and United for decades.
The reality is that Football in this country is basically like a class system and there’s a couple of clubs that get treated like royalty. So when you get a side like us that started taking over, they didn’t like it, it upset the balance and their business. The people in the game were all in it together, on the take, from the top, right down to bent officials to try and keep their system in place.
They don’t like us because they can’t stop us fair and square. That’s why they spend years investigating us to find something on us but don’t spent a minute doing it to other clubs who are spending obscene amounts, likely not all by the book.
Absolutely this.It's simple, really. People get bored of the same club winning too often for too long. It's human.
Sure, there's media bias and anti-Arab feeling and some people think we've cheated through the huge investment, but I think the change in other fans' views over time is just that simple fact that sooner or later people just think someone else should win things for a change.
They wouldn't be arsed if we won nowt.Yeah but that only applies to fans of other clubs
