Zatman Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 I just think they are incredibly boring to watch, they have great players but the manager is so defensive they are not allowed take risks As for Bernardo they embarrassing tried offload him all summer for Mr Aston Villa and is clearly the 2nd best player they have after KDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Pep playing two holding midfielders to kick lumps last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Their playing squad and playing style are utterly robotic. Incredibly well oiled and effective but, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 With Liverpool expanding Anfield this season, Citeh will soon be just the 3rd largest stadium in the North West. Sure they have massive global support but the actual match day crowd hasn't really grown that much in the last 5-10 years even with all the dosh.

It will take decades for them to build up the match day revenue that Liverpool and Man United generate. Man City have the pre oil money fanbase, but many of the newer fans are kids and newer people living in the country who choose an English team (they have a growing Polish fanbase for example). The majority of Man U and Liverpools match-day revenue comes from 35-45 year old 'die hard' fans living in the Cotwolds. They started off glory hunting in school (im 34 and half my school were glory hunting Man U fans) Now they've grown up, they go to 2 matches a year, buy merchandise, food, put a bet on and of course take the photo in front of the ground holding a scarf in the air. Those 10-20,000 additional fans are where the serious revenue comes from. If Man City keep on going well, those youngsters who glory hunt now will go onto be those same "die hard Man City fans" living in the Cotswolds.

Most glory hunting Man U or Liverpool plastics I have met usually never have been to a game and say 'oh its so tough to get a ticket' even though probably with some forward planning you could probably get at least a league cup match. I still think United have more local support than City as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 dont arsenal have the biggest match day revenue in the world? due to the obscene ticket prices and the corporate, id guess CoM must be close to having better corporate than utd and liverpool i agree with the notion that city have joined the party too late though, as an 8 year old why be a city fan when you can be a PSG fan? id guess thats a more stomach-able option for dads too, as long as my kid supported villa i could accept the glory hunting little word removed wanting a messi shirt as well, you'd do well to convince me thats not why they bought grealish and wanted kane, they are actively trying to grow their national fanbase] but to be fair to city with the daytrippers from what ive seen at least they are trying with the fan park and the statues and all that nonsense and with the CL attendances being so poor at times i take they dont do what the others do and force league season ticket holders to take out cup packages on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
