That's unfair for a manager however stubborn ( and I'm disillusioned with him) he did win 3 league titles and 7 FA Cups. You might say given the lack of resources he did well?
You're the best team in the league, is it asking too much for a bit of magnanimity from you?
You can only live on history for so long. We like to look at the present and future.
Seeing as we are doing rather well and the future is looking blue ;-)

I understand that you don’t understand, and that is completely understandable.
He didn’t turn “me” down or anyone else, he chose money. Pep doesn’t do second chances. Sanchez agreed and changed his mind. City don’t do business like that...this isn’t 2008 or even 2011, when we felt we had to over pay for top players to get the Project going. No, this was one of the best teams in Europe seeking to add an aging, but effective, player to the young squad to help alleviate some of the stress on our one fit striker and to work with a player Pep THOUGHT he knew. The ownership knows what they will and will not pay. Can they afford anyone? Of course! But, Khaldoon isn’t about to be bent over by someone untrustworthy.
One thing that all City fans have learned is that the owners are shrewd businessmen and not to be trifled with. They don’t allow ANYONE to fuck with them, because they don’t need to. They set out to bring a Championship after 44 years and did it. They set about building the best training facility in the world and did it. They set about recruiting the best coach in the world and did it. They set about rebuilding the oldest squad in the Premier with the best young talent from around the world and did it.
I understand how frustrating it must be to be an Arsenal fan these days, especially with your best players wanting out and your manager seemingly a year or two out of date, but don’t make the mistake of mocking City for walking away from Sanchez. No one is bigger than this club today. In the past, City might have done more to get a player of Sanchez’ undoubted ability, but this isn’t the past.
Lest you missed it, City are TWENTY THREE POINTS AHEAD OF ARSENAL, with 15 games to go. Hell, you are even EIGHT POINTS AND 15 GOAL GD OUT OF A CL PLACE! So, I would worry more about why your best players want OUT so badly, not why City decided they didn’t want one of them.
The future is BLUE...the future is HERE!
Top post, that. Thanks.

It's almost like they've all found 'that' letter at the bottom of a filing cabinet.It seems to me with each passing day that clubs have decided they can’t match us on their own and will now resort to even doing deals with each other that would never have been entertained before just to try and stop us.
It’s hilarious.
Fuck them fuck them all.

Very good article from Rory Smith in the New York Times on the Sanchez transfer:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/sports/soccer/alexis-sanchez-manchester-united-city.html
This pretty much sums it up for me.
Brilliantly written article.......

Maybe Wenger is shrewder than we think:)If the raggies don't hurry up it will be Jan 31st, perhaps they should throw another 20 million at it.
Edit. TBH, he has the rags by the short and curlies on this now
