Heard this so many times but I'm sure you know that no one outside of Utd cares about any of this. City are a massive club now and a better destination than Utd for most of upcoming players. Burying our heads in sand (pun intended) won't help. We need to win titles again.
Of course it matters. No one is watching and far fewer people care when City do something. General apathy towards their league wins.
Players that participated in league wins like a Clichy or a Nasri are afterthoughts. Their careers, just notes on the page of a very sterile presentation.
Even players who become club legends, where you can’t ignore their legacy, players like Aguero and Silva, imagine how much bigger their legacies would be if they had done what they did for United instead of City?
We are a mess right now but what we do as a club will always matter way more than what City do.
We need to get our act together, but City are in a false position of relevance because of the money they have. They don’t have the history, culture and prestige of Manchester United. You can’t buy that, and it shows every time they celebrate a title to a smattering of applause.
