As a City fan of 46 years, I've seen it all.
The complete Muppetry of Peter Swales', the lunacy of Franny Lee. The club started to get a little balance when David Bernstein took over, but soon disappeared when we got the fruitloop that was Shinawatra.
Mansoor's money, brought in his best mate Khaldoon. He has world leaders on speed dial on his phone. Simon Moran has Gary Barlow, and Fitzpatrick has Ian Blease.
After the club sacked Mancini (but he WAS trusted with money....Yaya, Silva, Aguero), we tried to get Pep. We missed out, as he went to Bayern, but we got the next best things.....his mates Bergerastan and Sorriano from Barcelona. The club waited for Pep's Bayern contract to fizzle out, then pounced. The rest, as they say, is history. Bide your time and get the RIGHT man for the job'"
That's a lot more easily done if you're the club with the most money in the whole sport like city were at that time. That's not what Wire are, superleague money compared to the NRL is like trying to attract pep as manager to one of the biggest clubs in the championship, probably someone like leicester city right now. Still good but just not at the same level financially or in terms of sporting standard. We can't afford the best and sadly superleague isn't the pinnacle of the sport where the best want to test themselves. Let's hope IMG can help to improve both situations.
