I judge from bushiness results - which is how he should be measured rather than the shallow stuff of occasional seeming 'gaffes' that the press (and unfortunately some fans) seem to leap upon...... as if such things are really important in the scheme of things - it is a bit like the sort of negativity for negativity s sake you get from people who just are naturally that way inclined

Surely as a business though your image is an integral part of people accepting your brand?
Do you not think Cookies outbursts were damaging to City with the negative publicity that followed?
I'm not anti Cookie...I quite like the guy to be honest...just playing devils advocate

Haven't seen much in way of him being bushy so far...

Socs- do you mean busy - or is there a joke in there? - and if you do - are you really serious - do not always know - and you know more than most the importance of increasing revenues

No I absolutely do not think they were negative - entirely the opposite
Re Kaka - he told the truth and I would have been appalled if our CEO allowed another club to publicly rubbish us with lies - I was shocked at how fans on here thought he handled that wrongly - for me that is typical CITY mindset
Re talking us up in the states - well FFS he was there organising a pre-season tour - what the fuck is he supposed to - he is not exactly helped in promoting our brand by either a) our general history and world standing or b) our fans some of the time (I was very disappointed at the Valencia crowd) - he has to work hard to promote us - largely on his jack
Re the Rossler mistake - yes cock-up - but heh things can happen - we should be right behind him - if he does not succeed in a major way - the project fails

His arse is for rent (so to speak) and he'd be off to Chelsea a la Peter Kenyon if they offered him more money. He cares little about upsetting long-time season ticket holders such as myself. He sees City as his pet project, NOT his beloved team.
I can tolerate him and believe, looking at the fuller picture, that he probably does more good than harm. But I won't be shouting from the rooftops about how much I love him, because he gives not a fuck for me. Nor for you.
Can understand people being impressed with his work, but it baffles me when people appear to idolise him.

You are talking about your view as a City fan here
You can't tell me that to the outside world...those instances were not held in a negative light...because they were
Rival fans and the media still go on about 'bottlegate' even now whenever his name is mentioned

Whoah there!
That sounds like Carte Blanche
Noone is indispensable for the sake of the Club
