Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Good article by Hope but not sure on the need for PIF to speak? They've clearly put Staveley in as the mouth piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've clearly put Staveley in as the mouth piece. What’s impressed me most about the Saudis is how savvy they’ve been. From the appointments to the lack of Hollywood signings, they’ve been streetwise when it comes to the media and agents. The only people who want Yasir to speak is the press so they can pick him apart, I suspect as fans there actions are all we care about, those actions have spoken larger than any words from previous owners. We might have struck the jackpot with the richest owners on the planet, but we couldn’t have dreamt they’d be this fucking clued up it’s marvellous.

They want to ask a token question about sports washing just so they can get a very political answer to it and they’re upset they can’t. The communication we get from the club now is like night and day compared to under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 As long as PIF are running the club well (as they are), then we have no need to hear from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) "Expecting us to win fucking everything" is playing into the deluded stereotype. We've still a long way to go, there's no guarantees. Yes we have belief and hope, and reasons to be very positive, but fuck me. Nothing is a given. Man City still haven't won fucking everything ffs Edited December 17, 2022 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like the takeover you thought would never happen ? Yes, you are CORRECT !!! Comparisons with other clubs and other takeovers are not relevant. Our club is (always was) very different, and comparing the slightly negative attitudes towards our future with the VERY negative comments we had to endure about our takeover - is very apt.

Whitley mag Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 It’s far from being deluded or arrogant to think there’s every chance we’ll win everything in the next 10 years. I would be absolutely amazed if PIF privately didn’t think the same, they’re here to make us the very best and haven’t even scratched the surface yet. I would say my expectations are very much in line with the ownership, old mindsets are hard to change but everyone needs to recalibrate what this club is on the way to becoming.

Dr Jinx Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Man City have only really settled down now in terms of massive spending, PSG are a ticking time bomb now. Our sensible approach in not buying overpaid superstars is why we’ll do it quicker. Team spirit and hunger/motivation are everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
