'The comparisons between Erling Haaland and Rasmus Hojlund are obvious.'

Turns out the guy scored 9 league goals last season in 32 games...

This has to be one of the most hilarious articles written.
Let's hope BBC continues to write such drivel, as I'm p#ssing my pants.
What will they try to compare next ?
City's current youth & Academy successes with the Trafford Termites recent track record ?
Bet the BBC are gutted that MUFC's "next Duncan Edwards", young Charlie Savage, has scuttled off...

If he puts his principles/religion ahead of enjoying the football with his kids and grandkids, that’s his decision. I suspect money and his position in the media are also linked to this, but that’s just my speculation. But I feel he will ultimately lose out and eventually regret it. It’ll be too late by then of course.

He doesn’t know how lucky he is to have kids and grandkids to enjoy City with. If he were my brother/mate, he’d get a talking to.

I regret the time spent reading his book which I found boring, but each to their own if others enjoyed it.

Misery loves a friend & in shindler it has one, it's funny how some people always look on the past as if it was perfect when in reality it had the occasional good day but mostly shite . I was trying to think of the scientific word for it a bit like Stockholm syndrome, couldn't think of one so going with Bellend syndrome.

It's called Golden Age Syndrome.

I bet Schindler is one of those two bob millionaire types that seemed to run Manchester back in the 70's and 80's (City had one as Chairman). Who seemed to have easy access to the main entrance at Maine Road for no particular reason than they had a few quid and knew someone. Stayed behind after the match quaffing free brandy and smoking fat cigars while laughing about the stupid plebs in the rest of the ground who'd forked out their own hard earned to watch another abject performance. Then the takeover came with real business men with real money and they were no longer part of the hierarchy. "Nose out of joint" is my theory which is based on absolutely nothing.

Colin Schindler is entitled to his opinion, but the world has changed dramatically since he was a young man supporting City. He is 74 now and from a different generation to most City fans. He remembers the good old days and whatever that means to him. That's fine, he needs to face facts though, things change and for City things have definitely changed for the better. The owners are doing a great job and the players doing the same on the pitch. What's not to like. When he complains about City he should really direct his ire at global capitalism, climate change and tax evasion. Perhaps he should write some books about those things. They are far more scary than anything that is happening at Man City.

They just cant help themselves can they…

However, im convinced its counter productive. Heaps unnecessary pressure on the player from the plastics which inevitably they cant live up too. Long may it continue!!

Same thing happened at Liverpool in the early 90’s, took them 30 years to recover from it

He can at least rest in his mind that he's witnessed his beloved City managed by the great Peter Swales. I'm sure that'll give him great comfort when theres so much greed in the modern game.

You've missed the best line of the whole article....

They have privately ruled out making approaches for Paris St-Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Tottenham's Harry Kane, who are both world-class frontmen.

Basically only pensioners can remember our success in the late 60s. I don't remember any of it, I was 7 when I went to my first game in 1970. All us young ones deserve every trophy that we're winning and hopefully many more.

I read Schindler's book when it came out and as a close contemporary I identified with the passages about the bad old days when we still stood by a crap team and the redemption of the Mercer-Allison years. Then he became weird and the book went to a charity shop years ago.

I read the book, but I recall there was more references to Cricket than City. Load of shite
