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.
