My take is simple and echoes much of what has been said. I think our boys peaked last Sunday after another impressive long run of favourable results. For once ETH got his tactics right and the game plan worked. Those tactics won't be liked by Reds but they will celebrate any positive -...

I think you make some really important points here. We tend to look at it from a fan's perspective which is understandable. But to tarnish the reputation of the most outstanding manager of our time and some of the greatest players of the modern era Ian unforgivable by-product of this hateful...

Perhaps I'm naïve after all the insults and dirty tricks we have had to put up with over the last few years. But the Ceferin comments mark a new low for me. Apart from anything else its completely unprofessional and prejudices our case with the PL. This must have been a deliberate strategy on...

Happy to support this. He did a lot for us and was a beacon of light and optimism in some pretty dark days.

The sports news section on this morning's Today programme didn't even mention that City were playing tonight (they are aren't they?). Discussed last night's match (understandable) but then discussion on Celtic and Newcastle games. Didn't even mention ours was being played. Their job is to inform...

But maybe the government would have words with the PL to make them aware of the consequences of publicly disgracing such a prominent UK investor. I'm not suggesting they would actually lean on the panel. If that were the case then the PL may well be regretting the chain of events it has set off...

so they say!

I think it's naive to think that the government don't have 'quiet words' about matters like this. They are unlikely to 'instruct' but they will be concerned about allowing something to influence relations with such a prominent source of inward investment. That' what 'diplomacy' is all about. I'm...

It has been for a long time - started with all the Japanese inward investment in the 1980s and this is why the direct investment from Abu Dhabi is so important as you say. It has long been a key ingredient of UK economic policy. I can't believe the government would want to prejudice this and...

Thank you for such an informative and well-written piece. This is the sort of commentary which is sadly lacking in the mainstream media as well as academic and managerial literature. I honestly think that BM members are better informed and able to martial more cogent and relevant information...

Thought that also - I would love it to be true!

Well that makes me good as well. Thank you.

Disgusting really when we haven't been thru due process and anyone with any knowledge and ability to analyse that knowledge would know that the charges are ill-founded. The comfort is that it's not stopping us and all we see is more and more desperation from our rivals. The mis-information and...

Haven't seen the next LFC manager narrative for some time now! They won't engage in any discussion that challenges his motivation and values. It's easier to write crap about City!

I've given up trying to argue with the 'cheating/corrupt/oil money/state funded' brigade. They have their narrative and you won't shift them - even when due process has taken place. It amazes me how indignant some of them are when they protest that even though 'everyone knows we are guilty'...

That sounds like a good plan to me. I think both Foden and Grealish could be better used in positions other than those wide roles. But they can't all play central roles. I definitely think we need some pace out wide. But what do I know. Just leave it to Pep!

Good point - I had not really thought about it in that way.

Yes I will always remember that one. He could be very frustrating with his crossing accuracy and failure to take easy chances. I always thought he had excellent defensive qualities and I was not surprised by his move to right back. As has been said - a wonderfully resilient player who I am proud...

His start was hampered by injuries and I don't think too many of us realised what a player we had signed. He is the ultimate big match player and we have so much to be grateful to him. Etched in my memory will be the two goals he scored against Barcelona, the Villa goal and the goal in the cup...

Agree absolutely - it has to be Dias - he exudes authority and will lead whether he is captain or not. Off field he is exemplary. He would be my choice every time.
