hoppit Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Having supported Man City for over 40 years I can honestly say that pound for pound this is the worst I have ever seen them. No method from a manager who is trying to do things with players that aren't good enough. Need a goal I know what I'll take off a striker a bring on an inept midfielder. Why? Can somebody please tell me. God help us against Utd City will get absolutely hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 You have a good manager , and city are a big player now the investment has been put to good use with the training facilities and stadium ,. You are talking about one game which with some luck it could have been your team in a final , the striker was looking injured when he went off , just to think a few years back you were no where near the top flight .

Should have brought the striker on earlier.At least in the old days it was honest football now it's just financial ping pong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive statement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a relative statement back then they had no money but the players did their best , now they have money but some of the players show a lack of passion, much more enjoyable back then. I expect to see better but it's always the same old story only at a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Money has ruined the football league and is slowly ruining local football. MQx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MQx You never spoke a truer word Martin. Trouble is - how do you reverse it ? The mega money coming in from TV Rights and advertising etc, must be divided up more fairly. But I can't see that happening. The TV companies want only to support the Premier League - they have no interest in the lower leagues. The FA, even if they wanted to cut the cake more evenly, are dictated to by the TV companies. Sky, BT Sport and the Betting Companies, call the shots. A sad situation for true lovers of football and especially local amateur football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Don't worry, it'll all come down soon. Sky starting to lose money on the football, BT upping prices to pay for it as well ....the end is nigh for big bucks - good. But the damage has been done.
