While we've not always covered ourselves in glory on this front (I for one could never understand the stick Distin got after serving the club well for 5 years), by and large I think our fans don't get too bitter when players move on. And we tend to appreciate the job many players have done post-takeover in helping establish City into what is currently the most successful club in England. City fans tend to be able to accept that it's a job to most players and as long as they do their job to the best of their ability when they're here then we won't stand in their way if they wish to move on. Many Liverpool fans, on the other hand, think that players should view their club as the be all and end all and how dare any of them ever fancy a change of scenery. It's probably why Keegan isn't viewed by them as a club legend because he had the audacity to decide to move to Hamburg straight after winning the league and European Cup with them. And while they don't seem massively bitter about Mane going, they're already trying to discredit his choice of club and saying it's not a challenge going to the Bundesliga.
