Add this to the 115 reasons we already know that this club is a cheating and illegitimate state run machine with no morals. How they can continually be allowed to get away with this and face no punishment while playing with 2 first XIs with a completely empty stadium and no fans I don’t know. Someone at the Premier League needs to wake up. Has anyone ever actually seen someone wearing a City shirt in public? You’d think they’d want to keep a low profile right after paying off the referees in the Liverpool Vs Spurs game. Shameless
I’ve seen a fair few kids wearing City shirts lately. They’ve definitely made a huge dent in capturing the next generations fandom with their on field success.
I don’t want to be that guy but this is exactly what Chelsea were doing ten years ago under Abramovich
City in 2023 and Chelsea in 2013 have a lot of similarities when you think about it. Clubs that were largely irrelevant at the very top level for a long time and then both clubs were bought by foreign entities where the money being funnelled into both clubs attracted a lot of criticism due to the questionable morals that the owners represented
Both clubs started to immediately find success not long after the respective takeovers and just after winning the European cup for the first time, both clubs are starting to cement themselves as established football clubs amongst younger generations
Yeah no duh. Success begets fans the only difference this time is where the clubs got their money. the richest clubs have always had the most success and thus the most new fans.
I genuinely don’t think I’ve noticed a single kid wearing a city shirt in London (have seen some adults). Quite a lot of PSG ones but otherwise it’s still pretty much the usual suspects
I spent the whole summer in a resort town in my country and from my (admittedly anecdotal) experience the overwhelming majority of kids wear PSG and City shirts. And it’s mostly tourists from different parts of Europe. Basically kids from countries without big clubs tend to flock to the current generation of stars.
Lol yeah, in France in the summer I saw a shop with four kids kits hanging outside. PSG, City, Inter Miami and Al-Nassr. No need to guess the players on the back.
95% of the ‘Old team’ flairs here are that. I’m an American and tons of people are United fans, did they just draw United out of a hat to support? No they were good and wanted to watch good football when they were younger.
Like a test run of a 17 yr old spouting incorrect things he heard online. 115 charges of which 95% are connected to the same charge of false accounting 14 years ago, there are no moral billionaires running Premier league clubs, just those in different parts of the world with different rules. Mate, please everyone and their sister knows city doesn’t have two 11s. The stadium has over 50k people for 60 games a year.
I will say it’s entertaining to watch some people just break down mentally over all of this. Paid the ref for other teams games? lol
I’m very new to football. What are the rules around sponsorships? A team can take funds from literally any company as a sponsorship? I assume there are rules around this (and sounds like City has broke the rules) but I find it hard to believe that everything they’ve done to get here is illegitimate?
The funniest thing is that they don’t even try to hide it.
In one season they were the club with the most income!
more than real madrid!
They behave like cheaters. When you don’t punish cheaters, they will continue cheating!.

Yep I remember getting the train to Manchester from Chester the weekend City won the treble and the amount of kids wearing City shirts was crazy
Lots of kids wearing City shirts in Vietnam TBF.

Kids from all countries do this, look at all the United fans in the south.

New copypasta dropped
How are you a mod of our sub. Fuck off
I think someone pointed out that last season’s title winning thread on their subreddit had like 400 comments or something lol
LOL
You’re think the stadium is empty? as as season ticket holder I implore you to try and get a ticket for one of our PL games later in the season?
You took the bait my friend

I see loads of City shirts in London nowadays
Man City jerseys are some of the most common amongst kids in my neck of the woods
The fact people don’t realise your comment is satire lol
