Al I want is for City to continue to be successful and challenge for top honours.
If you want to be considered the biggest club in England then this is how success is measured. The level of delusion amongst many blues is now too strong for them to see this. Many need to be reminded that there was football played in this country before 2008.
LOL. So you are currently the largest commercial football enterprise in the world.
But why do people around the world support manyoo? Because you have 100 years of glorious history, consistently winning trophies decade after decade? No, not really.
Maybe because they lived through the terrible munich tragedy and their heart has compelled them to support you ever since? Nope, 95% of your fans weren't even born then.
So here's the real reason that everyone knows: manyoo are the largest commercial football team in the world because they have consistently won trophies over the last 20 years. People like to support winners. And more worldwide fans means more money to sign the best players. Having the best players = more trophies = more fans....
But you don't have the best players any more. You don't even have one of the top 4 squads in England at the moment. Your manager is a dull and plays a style of football that puts people to sleep. Your owners aren't investing any more money in the club. They're just siphoning as much out as they can, without making their cash cow implode. Your academy in in ruins and your own "legends" send their kids over to learn football the City way. To get a rough guess at who is better prepared for the future, just look at the state of your fucking website vs ours.
What does this mean? Well, it means that your quality on the field isn't going to get better any time soon. Who's the last actual academy player whose been top level since those in your username? Hell, you just spent 250 million quid and your only half-decent player is a 19 year old French kid.
You see, this is what the downward slope looks like. It's harder to attract the best players, and those that you do get are 1.5-2x more expensive than they should be.
On top of that, you aren't winning trophies or playing attractive football anytime soon. So those "loyal" fans in American and Indonesia will slowly start wearing Barca, Real, and City jerseys. Because no one wants to get up at odd hours to watch a team across the world play garbage every week. And with less fans, means less money to spend on players.....
The tail end of the cycle (which many of your fellow fans have already advanced to) is clinging on to your 20 years of "history" (when you used to buy the league). Claiming that no other team is as big or good as you because you've done a ton of shit in the past. Sounds like some scousers down the road, eh?
Basically, manyoo will join liverpool as the bitter old men sitting in the corner, repeating the same boring stories year after year, and insisting that everyone pay them respect. Meanwhile, everyone else are in the prime of their life and excited about what tomorrow will bring. While they won't say it to your face, everyone just wants you to fuck off and die, since you've been a complete cunt for as far back as everyone can remember.
