What a total crock of shit, I don’t even understand why they make these weird posts even if there was any truth in it what does it matter? The mackems are a division 3 side and Man City are on the verge of another PL title. Saying they’re not a big club because most of their success has come in the modern era is absurd, titles now are just as meaningful as titles in the 50’s, saying they’re not is doing exactly what people attack the “football started with the PL” group about.
Also as Strawb says they’ve always had a good support, it’s also a support base that had a fucking behemoth on their doorstep, imagine if Newcastle had Manchester United level of success and stature there’d be about 20 people at Sunderland games ffs.
