David Bernstein Q&A for KOTK

[Prestwich_Blue]

I can, he was fucking shite! Seriously though, didn't Keegan hound him to buy him on seeing videos of Vuoso ? 4 million I believe. Still can't fathom that one out 20 years later.

Keegan was great mates with Willie McKay. Say no more.

He probably was pants, but why spend 3.5m on someone? Makes you wonder whether Kevin Keegan wanted to sign him based on watching a video. Some of the signings during the latter part of KK's tenure were really bad. He wasted a lot of money in my view.

It also makes you wonder about back handers.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I'm pretty sure Vuoso played a part in one game?

A midweek match away at Sheffield Wednesday?

I've just checked and wiki said no appearances for us. He might of featured in the squad but not got on. I remember at around that time there was a player who Keegan didn't play, due to activitating a clause to play a club more money. Maybe this is the case ? I'm sure somebody will know more than me on this. MES ?

Pay not play

My question is about Bernstein as a City fan rather than as our (excellent) Chairman. Can you ask him some of his earliest memories of supporting City, and also some of his best memories, pre-dating his professional involvement with the club (i.e. not Wembley 99 or Ewood Park).

Might be my memory playing tricks, but I'm pretty sure Private Eye had the answer to this about 20 years ago. I certainly remember them writing something about a sports agency and Kevin Keegan's alleged interest.

I'd be interested in his views on an independent regulator for football. I'd like to hear his take on what he thinks the motivation is behind Sheik Mnasour's ownership of City.

I'd also like to know if he thinks Keegan was the right appointment in 2001 or if Moyes (who seemed to be the other candidate) might have been a better long term option.

IIRC the agent who actually brokered that deal was David Hodgson, the ex Boro and liverpool striker. He had previously brought Forlan to the odd lot
Heard one story at the time that Vuoso refused to learn English, dismissing it as ‘a primitive language’

Page 7 and the most important question has still not been asked!

BARM or muffin?

May have been mentioned already but what are his thoughts regarding the PL charges?
