Why does everyone hate anybody managing Man City?

personally i always find managing city a wee bit boring.
its just like editing a game and giving your club a silly amount of money.
Although some may like it , it's not for me.

I presume a comment calling Abramovic a Russian **** funding the KGB wouldn't get the same treatment.

W/E tho i guess if i had Asian ties i may take offence

Milen the KGB is not a terrorist organisation, it is an Intelligence service within the Russian government( TBH in todays climate many people may say there is a fine line between terrorist organisation's and certain Intel services).

I hate all tis "political correctness" balls flying about at the minute but as I said that remark was stereotypical and racist!!

Once again i will put my soapbox away!! lol

The negative connotations of the KGB imply that the opinion has the same context.

TBH im just bored playing Devils Advocate ... I hate political correctness n all that too. Too each their own nothing to do with race would ever offend me :)
 
I find managing Man City boring too.. It's good to be a team like this if your new to the game. When i was new i always loved being the teams with the most money. But i suppose there's a team for everyone! People shouldnt slate others for being Man City.. But it's the ridicolous threads like "who should i sign"..
 
Playing as Man C isn't bad but asking who to sign is. Even if you have no clue, there is an entire subforum dedicated to good players, who you can sign as Man C cause you got the money.

The biggest challenge in the game is bringing your team up to par with the big teams in the league (or promotion for the smaller clubs). It's easier and faster with Man C than with Sunderland, but doable with both. I do agree though with the statement of the Spanish guy, that keeping your team in the top is a challenge. You can start with Man U, but if you screw up you'll get sacked while playing with lesser clubs gives you more options to fail. Sure you can buy every player in the game which will make it easier, but you are then expected to go for the title, which with all obligations in England can be hard. However I tend to stop as soon as I won a quadruple (league, 2 cups and the CL).

Anyway, Man C is a great way to get into the game, but then I still don't buy the absolute topplayers (Ronaldo, Messi) but the players just below that. That is still challenge enough in a first game. Players can fail, refuse to gel, redundant players get angry or unsettled by the press, you have a board with unrealistic wishes and a lot of keyplayers (who won't come for less) to manage.

In my first season now. Bought 8 (!) players (2 panic buys cause of long defensive injuries though) and still just aiming for CL qualification. For those interessted in who to sign: Veloso (DMC), Vukinic(AMC), Kuzmanovic (midfielder Udinese), Zapata (DC), Vagner Love (ST), Diarra (DMC, shouldn't have but they were letting him go for 5 mln), Vertonghen (DC), and this multifunctional wingback from Rubin, Brazilian kid forgot his name. Btw if you relegate with Man C you need to play another game.

I wouldn't say people hate people that play as Man City, But you can easily have £100m+ (if you make budget adjustments) so therefore can sign pretty much anyone.
 
My Step Dad and Uncle were both injured in Afghanistan. My Uncle in a firefight when they heard an IED go off outside Camp Bastion. My Step Dad was on patrol outside Fort Kazaraq when a group of locals ran over with a injured man in a firemans lift, before dropping him and pulling out AK-47's, resulting in my Step Dad having 4 bullets in his right thigh. In my post i did not say anything to do with Arabian people in general as being terrorists (so i don't see why people are saying this). However i am naturally suspicious because of my Step Dad and Uncle, but who wouldn't be? For my comment as to the Man City owners funding the Taliban, I deeply apologise. I only said it because of the rumours around the consortium owner in which people say his nephew is an active member of the Taliban, thus him being worried about him and providing protection where necessary.

Apologies for this and I will not be posting ever again on this website for the offence I have caused to other members.

Hey this is my first post and i'd like to clear something up, i don't tolerate racism. My Dad's Indian and my Mum's halfcast, so i would take a huge amount of offence from somebody being racist, however i really don't find Eggers' comment racist. He's calling them Arab wankers, it's his opinion whether they are "wankers" but they are actually Arab, and that is just like calling somebody white, it's what they are isn't it and it's not racist at all, and in his originally post he certainly didn't sterotype all Arabs as being associated with the Taliban, he just said what he had heard (if people actually read the post) and therfore, i don't agree with what he said about them funding the Taliban i just think the story about the owneres nephew or whatever was just something made up by jealous fans as their club didn't have that sort of money.

Thank you for reading this through and i'm very sorry to hear about Eggers' Step Dad and Uncle, and i would prefer if people didn't jump to the conclusion of racism all the time as there's nothing i hate more (apart from actual racists) than people who say pretty much everything is racist without thinking it through. I'm not accusing anyone and i'm not taking sides in the matter, i just wanted to saye my piece. Thanks again.
