Sour Alex Ferguson : " Man City a small club ."
-
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says Manchester City "are a small club with a small mentality".
The Scot is unimpressed by City signing Carlos Tevez when the Argentine left Old Trafford at the end of last season.
A city-centre billboard appeared soon after, saying "Carlos Tevez, welcome to Manchester" under a sky-blue graphic.
"It's City isn't it? They're a small club with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United; they can't get away from it," he said .
"They think taking Carlos Tevez away from Manchester United is a triumph. It is poor stuff."
Manchester City have spent heavily in recent weeks, with Emmanuel Adebayor signing from Arsenal for about £25m, midfielder Barry coming from Aston Villa for £12m, Paraguayan frontman Santa Cruz costing £18m from Blackburn, and Tevez arriving for £25m .
Ferguson, who was speaking on the Premier League champions' pre-season tour in China, claimed that Adebayor had attempted to sign for Manchester United before committing to City.
"When someone offers you that kind of money, it is a big attraction," said Ferguson. "That is the reason they have gone there.
"At the last minute, from what I can gather, either Emmanuel Adebayor or his agent phoned us after they had agreed a deal with City and then did the same with Chelsea. He was desperate to get to either Chelsea or us."

"It's City isn't it? They're a small club with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United; they can't get away from it," he said
He also can't get away from the fact that Man City has got the bigger fan base in Manchester than United .

But Manchester United has got a huge fanbase GLOBALLY, all around the WORLD. (: And Man City has no history, unlike Man Utd and Pool. -

Yeah i just hope those 'small clubs' that are referred to as by man u will thrash man u when the new season starts.Just hope that some clubs can really shut up the man u people's mouth again just like wat happened during the CL league final.Would love to see their reaction when this happens. -

Yeah so far man u is the worst club and has the worst fans i have seen.Even though Chelsea fans can be irritating at times,no one can beat the man u fans.Most of the man u fans are like that.Liverpool fans and Arsenal are always the best.They stay calm and relaxed and dont go ard insulting other teams as thought their team is 'forever the best'.U should see man u fans reactions.When they win,they will act as if they own the whole planet and wil keep ranting and showing off abt their win.But once they lose,even a 2 months old baby can lose to them.They will show their attitude and insult,accuse and blame everybody who is NOT responsible for their loss.Thats the very irritating thing abt them.
Thats why if any team vs man u,even if i hate the opposition man u are facing,i would just support that team to beat man u and to shut their mouth up. -

Yeah, they claim ppl no life, yet ManUre fans kept creating clones to post everywhere.
To top it up, they even did it everyday!
No need to work isn't it?

I am so sure within the next 3 years , Man City's popularity will increase , and their fan base will increase .When Chelsea were still a midtable team , no body heed them , now what ?
Same la , many gloryhunter from all iver the world will switch camp .
United fans share will get lesser and more fans from Utd camp will switch to City .

that's for the gloryhunters or fair-weathered fans, not for all the true man utd fans. (: -
gloryhunters or fair-weathered fans , there is alot here in sgforums .

while SAF's chants seems senile, ignorant, even bullish to some, it does echo one infamous similiar claim ->

Yes, some fans are irrating that they get in your face once they win, and so sore when they lose. Well, losing to Barca in the UCL finals, nothing to say, just got the ass whipped by a better team. Kanna thrashed at OT by a rampant Pool team, nothing to say too, just got swamped.
Anyway, not here to defend, but just as I believe there are really nice Liverpool fans around, I do think there are really nice MUFC fans too. Hope one day, you will meet one so less hatred in your heart.
Cheers.
