Manchester City’s official supporters’ club launched a strong defence of their loyalty after Pep Guardiola’s criticism of his own fans after Sunday’s FA Cup win over Fulham.
The City manager questioned why more had not turned up for a fourth-round tie.
Kevin Parker, general secretary of the club’s official fans’ group, revealed frustration at Guardiola’s comments.
"
I was disappointed and don’t see what Pep is trying to achieve," Parker said. "He’s playing into the hands of the “Emptyhad” critics. It really peeves me.
"We feel unjustifiably criticised by other clubs, so for our manager to have a go at us as well makes it worse. I’d suggest he’s not in touch with the financial reality facing football fans.
"Pep has to accept that this is a working-class group of supporters who spend a lot of their money on football, so stop beating us up about it.
