Sir Howard Bernstein Way

He won't have to buy a ticket! That guy who sells Cup Final tickets'll have given him one!

Would that be a certain ex player from the dark side,who is also a "Sir" and has a "wrap around hair-style" ?

A gesture that confirms our clubs continuing identity with our roots & MANCUNIANS.

This will resonate with so many people in so many places & is well deserved.

Spirit of MANCUNIA......MANCHESTER the City of CITY.

The reason that Manchester is light years ahead of Birmingham in so many respects is down to this man more than any other factor imo.

Probably a stupid question but is he related to our old chairman and I mean by name not hairstyle. ;)

Fantastic article. Sir Howard had a real vision and ambition. He knew that to drive improvement in the city he had to make it a more attractive place to live and work. That in turn will drive private investment.

Contrast that to Andy Burnham who looks nailed on to replace him who sees the future of Manchester's economy as bringing more civil servant jobs to the city. End of an era, unfortunately.

No relation at all.

When I worked for Andy B, he packed the Department with management consultants

I thinks it's great and he fully deserves it.
