My lad has moved from Yoonited to City recently as well. He's a highly considered 11 year old keeper who was spotted by City scouts going into school.......?!!!

in no way is OB a city fan, hes a big dirty red and has never been shy of saying so. he taught at my college when i was there for two years, he was always off doing something or other in another country for something or other so im not surprised hes moved away. good coach OB, its a shame i could never give him shtick about the title win in may.

I can confirm Chris is not a blue at all, he's a red. We grew-up together & he's one of my best mates & one of the most genuine people you'll likely meet. His only connection to us, up until this, was a mention in Lakey's book (the Smiths cup final for school).
He's been in football in one way or another since leaving school & joining Bolton on a YTS & I know was highly regarded at United. I had no idea about this until I read it here as I haven't seen Chris since he went over to Mumbai. I do hope this is true so I can rip the shit out of him for all the grief he used to give me when we were kids :-)

C O'B used to oversee some coaches who trained my daughter. He is a big red and couldn't give two shits about City. And in my opinion he was also in charge of some shit coaches and couldn't take any criticism of their methods which mainly consisted of starting the session late and then texting their mates!

I also know Chris and can confirm he is not a blue but he is a massive Geordie.
so once nike are onboard do you think it will be a snowball effect with many other big company's wanting a piece of city?fbloke said:A few conversations later and it seems that the partnership between City and Nike in the development of the City Academy 'project' will be the biggest yet seen in any sport.
I am genuinely excited by this as there are some suggestions that MCAFC coud be tying into MLS coaching and colleges which would be a tremendous thing if it were to happen.

Why do you think we based ourselves at Nike Headquarters Campus in Portland for pre-season a few years ago? ;-)
The seed was sown.............
And why I wonder did Garry Cook last as log as he did ;-)<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:05 pm --<br /><br />

Absolutely, and although we may well shed a tear or two about the old City (ickle old City even?) disappearing we have to revel in the fact that City are about to go very much more global.
