It's a proper shit thing to do in my opinion and would imagine someone's taking an absolute bollocking this morning. What I don't get is why were City going to have an official communication re his departure in the first place? We'd never ordinarily comment on what former players/coaches are up to at other clubs, so why start now with this?I see it was on the official City web site, then taken down again.
It's reassuring we still hold a few old style traditions in place, amongst all this modern day lark of being really good at stuff.

I doubt there's ever been a case where a 3rd club has ever announced a new manager before the actual clubs involved. It's like Sheffield United announcing we'd signed Kyle Walker last summer. Doesn't do the image of NYCFC being a branch or subordinate of City any good.
Barcelona did a fairly good job of announcing Pellegrini to us through back channels before we'd even sacked Mancini.I doubt there's ever been a case where a 3rd club has ever announced a new manager before the actual clubs involved.
That is a bit of a surpise, I guess that will leave Arteta as Pep's assistant ?
