Man City - the new bitters?

To quote ...“The people say about the Champions League, that target. We still are not ready. We create a lot, don’t concede, but can improve. We’ve scored a lot over the last two seasons and I don’t have doubts about that, but we have to keep going, work on that.”

 

No, not the words of Neil Warnok, or some other also ran shitehawk, but the most well remunerated, staffed, funded, indulged hypocrite in football today!

 

Imagine going to your annaul appraisal every year and saying 'Yeah, well I know we had a distinct advantage and you gave me everything, but I just don't think you've really given me enough to shine, I think next years out of the question as well unless I somehow get lucky, or perhaps you double my budget. I'm worth it though, no?'

State of this. Some cunt off Blue Moon must have wrote this. Conveniently forgetting that they lost at home to Wolves, a Norwich team that gives away 3 goals a game and drew at home with Spurs.

I think my most popular tweet of all time was a poll asking who was the most ridiculously biased pundit out there:

- Stu Brennan for City, or

- Duncan Castles for Mourinho

 

If I recall Brennan actually won it, which takes some doing over Castles, who seems to have his lips permanently sewed onto Jose's arse.

I seem rather fortunate in not knowing who either of those cunts are! Although I am aware a bloke called Duncan castles exists, I've no idea what he does.

I always sit and scratch my head when people on here start reeling off the names of journalists who cover other teams and how they are cunts. I couldnt tell you who covers us in the echo.

I'm in Sudan currently, long story, and I've seen loads of jarg kits, loads of us, Barce, a few Bayern, nowhere near as many MU as there used to be, but no MC. I did see a reconditioned parasol which had clearly been shipped in from The Gulf bearing their insignia, but not one shirt and there are loads of knockoffs about.

 

Not scientific I know, but it's enough to claim that the plastic, former Manchester City, aren't quite having the commercial impact they'd hoped. The shit, pathetic cunts.

An article regarding the influencers post last night

 

https://www.prweek.com/article/1663345/man-city-calls-influencers-build-hype-champions-league-home-games

 

The Premier League champions have run an ad on influencer marketing platform Tribe, asking for posts to "get across the great atmosphere of the Etihad".

The brief opens by admitting that Man City’s Champions League draw "has given us three relatively unknown teams" in Dynamo Zagreb, Shakhtar Donetsk and Atalanta, which means the club’s "core fans are less likely to attend".

The club would like to identify male students, young professionals and those new to Manchester (aged 18 to 55) to post content that can "tell an authentic and genuine story of what it’s like to be at a game".

To apply, influencers with at least 5,000 followers need to submit a shot that showcases "the electrifying atmosphere that only Champions League live football matches can deliver".

The content should be "fan-centric" and have "an element of FOMO". The club is asking influencers to set a fee for their work (see full Tribe ad below).

The influencer campaign is an unusual step by a club to drum up interest for the most prestigious club football competition in the world.

Other Premier League clubs in this year’s Champions League – Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham – usually sell out of tickets for their home fixtures minutes after sale periods open. City's next home fixture is against Atalanta this evening (22 October).

Man City's 'fake followers'

The campaign comes as new research shows the majority of Manchester City’s followers on social media channels are fake.

Analysis by Edinburgh-based social media agency Pilotfish Media estimates that 58 per cent of Man City’s 15 million Instagram followers and 33 per cent of its 7.2 million Twitter followers are fake – which in total amounts to about 50 per cent of followers across both platforms.

This was the third-highest proportion of fake followers among brands analysed. Nike had the highest portion of fake followers (61 per cent on Instagram; 28 per cent on Twitter), followed by Foot Locker (55 per cent on Instagram; 34 per cent on Twitter).

Beauty and fashion brands also scored highly for fake followers.

Manchester City's influencer brief on Tribe

It's so laughably pathetic. Those Instagram and Twitter follower numbers are still way off, after discounting the estimated numbers of fake followers. The sense of 'what can we do to to drum up support' clashes directly with their sense of entitlement of thinking they're bigger club than they are/

 

They need these shills 'to tell an authentic and genuine story' because the story that's being told by tv cameras and microphones of the 'electrifying atmosphere' at their matches is entirely damning.
