Next Season - Expectations

[Mase]

I hope our fans have tickets for matches and don’t try jumping turnstiles.

I hope our fans have tickets for matches and don’t try jumping turnstiles.

I hope they fix the e-ticketing system.

I hope our fans have tickets for matches and don’t try jumping turnstiles.

I hope they fix the e-ticketing system.

For the attention of the armchair brigade who make zero effort to attend any city game but expect any back handed comment on a forum significant and factual……..
The e-ticketing system was abysmal at the start of the season causing untold carnage to thousands of match going fans . To their upmost credit MCFC listened and acted swiftly to the point where mid season the system was faultless. Incredible really well done all the hard work involved from MCFC. Meanwhile people sit on their fucking arses and make snide fucking comments about absolutely fuck all they know about and spend fuck all money .
Pathetic !!!

Depends which device you have / had . Not everyone is fucking IT literate hence the fucking shambles at our airports etc . Glad you are ok though . What a fucking world we live in !

[s1ty m]

Never had a problem with it.

[Mase]

My 70 year old dad that’s got a Nokia has been okay with his season ticket all year.

[City64]

Upgraded my phone to a state of the art latest edition job , everything then worked perfectly even the CL tickets uploaded straight away.

[dazby]

I expect our strikers to have some issues gelling with the system. I expect Jack to find his feet and really improve next season.

I expect issues finding a replacement for Rodri when he's unable to play.

On the pitch.
In hindsight, we have moved through a series of phases since our owners took over and I see this as a very important season for us.
Since our owners biught in, the project has seemed to move effortlessly to hit a nimber of targets set.

Initial spending to get us into the top 4 and into the more serious income streams to fund the next stage. This meant catching and overtaking the rags, which at the time was important to us. I think we did that by 2012.
A transition phase when we cemented our position at the top, as the rags started to fail quite dramatically.
Pep's arrival pushed us higher and appart from the Dippers, we have become the dominant domestic force.

Last season, we saw a change in our recruitment strategy. Wher we had refused and backed out of huge transfer deals like Van Dyke, we moved for Grealish and Kane, signalling thatwe were prepared to pay the bigger sums to soolve problemds and move us higher. Necessary to keep us ahead of the dippers and lift us up to put in a serious challenge v the top Euro clubs. Again helped by some of the financial woes of those top clubs.

This season is a big one as we now, hopefully, with Incoming Haaland and Alvarez, have solved the problem that hurt us v Madrid last season; our poor chance to goals ratio.
I see this season where we are now fully equipped to go all out to overtake the likes of Barca, Real, Bayern and PSG, fullfilling the owners promise to eventually dominate football at the very top level.

Off the pitch, our commercial activities have taken us to the top of the club valuation and income tables and I see that continuingto improve.

Not long ago, we dreamed of being at the level of Barca, Madrid and Bayern, From now on, I see them dreaming of trying to catch us up as we start to disappear over the horizon.

After having a week's worth of pain (following a tooth extraction) that post has cheered me up. Thanks John68 x

Great post.
UEFA have a problem. Two of the youngest brightest talents in world football are with the non-cartel City and PSG.
For UEFA money talks and box office Haaland and Mbappe drive revenue streams, for ex, from sponsors, TV rights, subscriptions, merchandise.
UEFA will want them involved and center stage in the latter stages of the CL (and everything else that UEFA are involved in).

The way the two CL matches against Liverpool where 'officiated' still make me angry (and the Spurs game at the Etihad).
I would bet good money that we will never be 'officiated' in that manner in a UEFA CL game ever again.
I think we are on the threshold of doing to the CL what we have done to the PL.

[Beefymcfc]

With the new signings, we’re going all out to win the quintet.

Do not buy that at all mate, uefa will always hate us. See madrid barely a month ago. Casemero 5 yellows, 2 pens over 2 legs, 5 added on then blows early in ET, another blatant example that even neutral fans saw through.

Tebas making noises again after being seemingly in a coma the last 12 months, oh wait his beloved Real Madrid somehow won the CL ! UEFA fundamentally corrupt to the core and always will be .

Last hurrahs from UEFA. In the end they will follow the money.

[john68]

The problem with UeFA is that they are only an administrative body and there is a ton of evidence to show they are controled by the wishes and needs of a small group of financially driven football businesses (clubs?).

Whilst City have moved up in the money making table and have an ever increasing global support, it has done so at the expense of those politically powerful clubs.
What we are earning, they aren't, what we are gaining, they aren't.

We now seem to have reached a position, whether they like it or not, where we have to be included. A new Euro Super League without us would be nonsense.
They have tried a number of things to slow us down, ruin our global reputation, and more recently even ban us to get rid of us
The clubs that control UEFA have a problem. We challenge their position to earn money, we challenge their position to control UEFA....but try as they may...they don't seem able to get rid of us.

It must be a source of great amusement to our owners who have played a blinder outwitting the likes of Tebas, the Glasers, the Fenway Group, Agnelli etc.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

I expect us to go all out to make it 3 in a row and have another pop at the CL. I hate to say it but we need to win that thing soonish to get that monkey off the back.

Pep to have Erling on the bench for the Charity shield game v the FA Cup wankers. Seriously a lot of joy watching the blues. I mean it’s the gift that keeps giving x
