Hansen - City are THE force

Alan Hansen gave a sobering insight to The Mail today, when asked by Jamie Redknapp about the arrival of Pep and what United and the rest can do about it?

Hansen: "I wouldn't write off Manchester City yet (for the title) It's a poor league, they haven't been great, but they're not finished.

"City don't need to make a statement (the signing of Pep). They are not the coming force, they are THE force. If you finish ahead of City, you win the league.

"His appointment puts the fear into everyone else. Their opponents will go into next season thinking: 'We can't beat these.' It will create panic."

Sobering to who?
Is it being used by someone who thinks it means 'neutral' or 'unbiassed'
 
It's a far cry from Hansen's ominous "They're not going away,are they?" when asked about us the year we finished second.
 
A positive interview that can be taken as a compliment or as a way of heaping the pressure on.

Just get on with the current season and play a lot better than we have been, or if you finish ahead of City you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd (hopefully not 4th).

I remember in 2008, just after the takeover, Hansen predicted on Match of the Day that we were set to dominate domestic football for the next 10 years. We have certainly been a growing force in the intervening eight years.

Nothing like looking for a negative in a positive to brighten up your day
