What is a club in any case? Not the building, or the directors, or the people who are paid to represent it. It's not the TV contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It's the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It's a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father's hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love. -Sir Bobby Robson
Anyone heard what Phelan's doing? I know he wanted a managers job but would he take it knowing what's happened? It would be a bit more like stabbing SB in the back.
I dont think itll be that simple. Injuries and a lack of pulling power to replace them is going to have the biggest impact. Pep Guardiola couldnt keep us up without apending and if AA won't sign anyone...
I'm 42 years old this year. I first went to Boothferry Park to watch City in 1980 as my 6th Birthday present. My Dad is a Manchester United fan and also took me to Old Trafford to see Manchester United v Barcelona in 1984. Maradona was playing and United turned around a 2-0 deficit and won 3-0. No matter what my Dad did, once I had been to City, that was the only club for me. Between 1980 and the move and success we have enjoyed at the KC, it has basically been a tail of supporting the club through thin and thinner, with the occasional moment of optimism (winning 2-1 at half-time v Liverpool in 1989)! With the news that has come out today, yesterday, this last week, the constant turmoil over the last few years and the current regime that is running my club, you had the chance to be heroes but you have continuously shown yourself and your employees as 'Not Fit & Proper' people to be running a football club. It pains me to say, MY club is a joke, a laughing stock, no players, no manager, disenfranchised fans, joke of a membership scheme, owners that do not listen to anybody, including the Governing Bodies of the game and that's probably just small part of it. I hate to think what is next Please sell up and go.
I expect any manager contacted by the club will be straight on the phone to Bruce to get the low down on the club , the best manager we could hope for is going to be Colin or someone from another planet without the internet box
I wish you'd look in the mirror and see you're taking up too much space that could used for storing them little bags dog walkers use for disposing of...
