Rds1983 Posted September 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2021 All the poor City fans trying to defend him in the comments, saying they have 5 players injured and need to rest their 2nd squad assembled for £500m for Chelsea. They can't imagine not having a 2nd squad, having 5 players injured and being in a relegation fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's feeling the pressure to win everything having been heavily backed and having the media/fans turn on him for it. He doesn't like to be seen as the bad guy or a chequebook manager after having had smoke blown up his a**e for years about how brilliant he is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 He’s trying to gaslight the public into believing he doesn’t have a squad costing billions big enough to get 2 sides into the Champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll win the league this season, probably one of the domestic cups too. Obviously he'll be under pressure to win the Champions League, but I'm sure he'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now expected to win it all whilst people are moaning about him and City which he won't like. He'll be under added pressure from above as the club is trying to win hearts and minds (one of the main reasons I think they bought Grealish) and it appears to have backfired.

Not just restricted to Villa. Definitley Maybe fall out from the ESL but also they did try and have a summer of doing whatever the **** they wanted despite the FFP rumblings, the team that won the league and got to a CL final tried to spend £260m on 2 players, makes the whole thing pointless for everyone else Not sure if the Grealish booing has died off but that was more about city and what they are than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Moderately intelligent 50 year old City fan at work told me he'd been seeing more negative City stuff and that sportswashing "doesn't even exist". So it's worked perfectly with some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just restricted to Villa. The ESL, spending £100m on Jack despite claiming otherwise in a pandemic, growing awareness of their ownership, and the cringe stuff they do to bring in fans. I think it’s been growing for a time now. The height of plastic fan base at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor me He's currently sat on 3 leagues, 5 cups and a CL final loss in 5 years, before pep city's owners were 2 leagues and 3 cups in 8 years Add to that he's beat the record for points and goals, he's already had 2 x 5-0 wins this season and the 6-3 in the CL I dont believe there will be pressure on him from above, there'll be made up pressure from our gutter press whilst at the same time I'm not sure what else he can do to make this city team watchable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact there is debate even on this thread suggests it is not a clear and obvious red and pen. Clear and obvious error? Maybe not. But, having watched it myself for the first time, have to say I don't think that should be given as a pen for the simple fact that Armstrong is stretching / going down even before Walker contacts him, and you can argue that Walker would have gotten to the ball first had Armstrong stayed completely upright.

Not just restricted to Villa. The fact they can bang 100million on the table for a player: -They didn't really need -Who was everything to the selling club, poster boy, captain, boyhood fan, best player. -To the casual fans probably overpay by around 30million. Pre engineer the move with agents, contracts resulting in the player basically forced himself out of the club he "loves and supports", despite Villa not needing the money. This is further proof that "super clubs", brand, oil money, FFP, media and CL finances are destroying any chance of another team joining the elite, or your club holding onto an elite player. Fans are irrelevant, "size of club" is irrelevant. Its all pushed from a new circular economy. If Grealish can force a move from us; then Rice will leave West Ham, ASM will leave a newcastle, Maddison will leave Leicester, DCL Everton, Philips will leave Leeds when a Man City really go in. Its just a matter of time and every fan now knows that. Edited September 21, 2021 by pas5898 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a matter of time and every fan now knows that. This is bollocks, City are a great club. Pep would have been this successful without spending a penny, absolute genius and Jack only left so that Villa could get a huge payday, Jack would play for City for £8.50 p/h, the money is irrelevant, he just wants to win trophies. Villa are a bang average club, mid table at best and will probably go back down to where they belong eventually. If I hadn't invested in a scarf and a keyring I would seriously be thinking about supporting man city, great club. **** ***, ******* plastic ******* bent shithouse oil spunk ******** joke corrupt ****S. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
