  De Jong: Man City taking over Manchester from Man Utd

  Nigel de Jong says Manchester City are taking over the city turf from Manchester United.

  De Jong, in South Africa on City's pre-season tour, said: "The city is blue already. I've been amazed by that. But now on the expectancy side and performance side, it can be blue, not only red.

  "Tevez is coming from United and he has mixed feelings, but Manchester City are making a point that nothing is impossible. We can buy who we want.

  "Carlos is one of those people who is fighting for every inch on the pitch. He did it for United and I'm happy he's with us now.

  "He can help us as a 12th man. There are not many strikers who do that, but he is one.

  "It's important to have that steel, that fighting mentality. It's what Manchester City stands for, that fighting spirit."

  Even Nick Leeson also support MCFC. It can be said that 80% of MCFC fans hail from UK itself.

  WARNING ... Chief Executive David Gill

   

  MANCHESTER UNITED have told rivals City they are risking their future on the whim of a Sheikh.

  City have spent around £200million on players since the mega-rich Sheikh Mansour took over.

  But United chief executive David Gill insists his club are in a better position - even though £43.3m of their £80m annual profit will go towards paying interest on the club's £650m debt created by the Glazers' takeover.

  Attendances and sponsorship mean wages and transfers come out of what comes in - unlike at Chelsea and now also at City.

  Gill said: "We are not at the whim of someone pulling out and losing interest.

  "United has been around since 1878 and I just feel our job is to make sure it is still around for many more years in a sensible fashion.

  "That is by generating our own income, whether it be through players or generating capital income to take it forward."

  I guess its only perceived that United have lesser fans than City in Manchester is because they do have more fans globally than City... A lot more actually...

  It is always easy for non-United fans or anti-United groups or better still, City fans to make such a simplistic statement but if anyone care to take a little time to think with logic, the truth and fact of the matter will come to light very fast...

  Perhaps it it true that 80% or more of City's fans are from Manchester alone... and maybe only 20% of United's fans are in Manchester... But we have to remember we are dealing in percentage and not straight numbers to numbers...

  The truth is, every week United have a sell out crowd to their 76,000 stadium while City struggle to fill their 48,000 City of Manchester Stadium... So where does this whole 76 thousand people come from? Outside Manchester? Every week? Cos a lot of United's fans who goes to OT are also season ticket holders...

  So, like I said... Perhaps it is true 80 or maybe 90 percent of City's fans are from Manchester... And United, if we take into consideration the millions of fans around the world they have in different continents, it is only logical that they have more fans around the world than Manchester itself... But that little percentage of 20% or maybe lesser than 10%, could still be a lot more than City's precious little of 90%... 

  So i guess it is true that United are more famous globally... And it is also sensible to say they have more fans worldwide compared to locally in England... But we should not be mistaken that those little percentage doesn't necessary mean they have lesser supporters in Manchester... it could just means they have more fans around the world thats all...

  At least you have got some brains. Not like some people, only know how to stay home all day surf internet and watch 1950s movies, cook rice or porridge with salted veggie and salted egg. Their main form of entertainment online is flaming rival fans and editing posts.

   

  You got hope, iceFat, you just need to lose the fats. Not like some people, no hope, gone case.. 6 seasons later you will find them in IMH, weeping and screaming "why Man U relegate, why oh why!!!"
