Unlike Cook, it's difficult for me to speak definitively as he doesn't do interviews (or if he does I haven't seen them). Cook gave himself away as a clown most times he opened his mouth, but Marwood seems to have carved himself a niche at City. I'm not sure what that niche is, though. It will be interesting to see what happens when the new CEO comes in. Will he survive? Not sure.
DD he has done a couple of interviews with the media and they've been okay but, understandably, City became a bit wary of this sort of thing when GC was caught out.
Personally, I have managed to do a few interviews (all recorded) with Brian and have to say that his actions and passion for the job at City has helped the Blues develop significantly. Ultimately, as with GC and others, it is up to Khaldoon, the directors, and Sheikh Mansour to judge whether he's doing a good job or not, but from what I've seen and heard I think it's clear he is.
In my recorded interviews with Khaldoon he did, of course, talk positively about Brian (yeah I know he's unlikely to criticise but I can usually tell if someone is spinning a line or whether someone is genuine).
Inevitably there are some that won't like certain officials at City but to me it's fairly clear that City's directors and owner wouldn't tolerate someone who they don't have faith in. So many changes have occurred at City that I reckon there'll be quite a few people who feel a little upset that they are either no longer significant or that 'their' person is no longer in a position of note. That inevitably causes some to be more critical of those now in key roles. That's a shame.
