Absolute bollocks about Manchester. Fastest growing city in Britain in regards to investment and development, for all the shit you listed there’s tonnes more positive things to take on board. I’m personally proud to live here.I don’t blame anyone for wanting to live in a different city to Manchester. Manchester is the filthiest grittiest most hotch-potch city in Britain: poor roads, loads of traffic, loads of litter, loads of fly tipping, bin bags lining streets, weird bin juice and sick and piss stains on pavements, loads broken pavements, nice paved areas dug up by water and electric companies and filled back in with cheap tar mac making it look shit, still loads of homeless people lying in the street in prime areas…
Also the entire city centre feels like a building site and has done for years. Every street seems to be having building work going on which makes for a very untidy, chaotic and unfinished feel to the place. Manchester will probably look great in about 15 years when everywhere isn’t a building site but until then, living here can be difficult for those who can’t just get on with all that going on around them.
It’s a very difficult city to love and it’s a very easy city to not love. And that’s coming from someone who is from here and loves the place.
It is a lifestyle wish to move for Bernardo. He’s just someone passing through this city and sometimes the shit side of it can be a stumbling block to some people. He also found it very difficult during the lockdowns living here and that could have left a negative feeling of the city on him. I think he’d have been happier and more settled not living in the city.
Hopefully we get one more season out of him and give ourselves a year to line up a proper replacement. In that year, let’s enjoy him while we can and not degrade his efforts and achievements (like I’ve already seen in some posts) because he’s been a great servant to the club, I’d argue nobody has ever worked harder towards the cause than him.
Because it’s Barcelona. They might get him for 70M.How come City value Bernie at around 100 million euros and ushited want 120 millions pounds for Rashford. On what planet.
You’ve not understood what I’ve said.Absolute bollocks about Manchester. Fastest growing city in Britain in regards to investment and development, for all the shit you listed there’s tonnes more positive things to take on board. I’m personally proud to live here.
Fair enough my mistake. My point was that people bad mouth our magnificent city and it gets on my nerves. Great post as well. Take it easy and hopefully like you say Silva stays. After the reception he received yesterday I think we all hope he does.You’ve not understood what I’ve said.
Manchester is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe, Manchester’s GDP is going against the country’s incoming recession with 18 months of growth since the lockdowns ended, the developments and investment in Manchester are miles ahead of anywhere outside London… I’m not saying Manchester isn’t a good city, I’m not even saying Manchester is impossible to love… but it is a difficult city to love.
Once you do love it, you’ll love it forever; I actually said in my post that I love the place myself, but just because me you and maybe a million other people love the place doesn’t mean that it’s not a difficult place to live in and love for others… and I can see why it is a difficult place to love for anyone who doesn’t love it.
I currently find Manchester City Centre like living in a house when you’re doing it up. We all have experience of how unsettled and chaotic everything feels when you’re doing your house up, but every time I go into Town these days that’s how I feel about Town. It’s one giant building site where every little area of the city, half the corners you walk around, there’s building work going on, bollards up, blocked off streets and squares, digging hammering drilling, cranes, trucks bringing building materials *beep beep beep this vehicle is reversing*… for many, that will be difficult to feel settled living within all that.
And there have been huge problems with the state of the city at street level for a good decade or more now. Very nice cityscapes from a distance, but very scruffy streetsscapes up close and personal… some people won’t mind any of that, but for many that will be difficult to feel settled living within.
Anyway, I’ve veered off topic… hopefully Bernardo stays and we can discuss his performances throughout the season.
I’m not sure that’s the case anymore. There’s no doubt Manchester has been light years ahead of anywhere else for investment over the last 10-15 years, but the amount of money being poured into Birmingham now, especially around HS2, is nuts. Long way to go to catch up though.Manchester is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe, Manchester’s GDP is going against the country’s incoming recession with 18 months of growth since the lockdowns ended, the developments and investment in Manchester are miles ahead of anywhere outside London…
Somehow I don't think so.Because it’s Barcelona. They might get him for 70M.
