If the rot continues what happens ?

I've worked with many clients when things have gone catastrophically wrong and they have been incubating a crisis for some time before a shock to the business causes things to fall off a cliff. The initial response is that the business goes into full crisis and it many cases almost panic that things will not get batter, however this is very rarely the case. A realistic view on when things will recover with associated actions and stabilisation helps to calm the situation because there is a path forward. To think that very senior professionals at City are not thinking along these lines goes against all that they have achieved since the takeover. Our owners and management team will not overreact but will put in place the correct actions and learn from the mistakes that led up to the current situation

I’ve had enough of Soriano to be honest. He seems more interested in making shows for kids and ripping off fans.

“For Manchester City the objective is to win and to be financially sustainable. It’s not to make an extraordinary profit every year. We have to assume this has ups and downs”

Ferran Soriano, after the window shut this year.

They pretty much knew they were rolling the dice going off that quote.

Yes that was the Up. After some seasons of downs. Can't look at things that short term, that's exactly his point.

The rot will stop only when Walker, Lewis and Gundogan stop starting games.

Well said blue ranger. Unfortunately Walker, Lewis and Gundogan are the first names on Pep's team selection each game. Only Pep knows why.

Because three of our defenders, Akanji, Ake and Stones are injured, requiring Lewis and Walker to play, and two of our CMs, Rodri and Kova are injured, requiring Gundo to play.

This really isn't difficult and it isn't only Pep who has that info, ffs.

He's doing a good job tarnishing his own legacy. Shit performance after shit performance. Extreme stubbornness and refusal to change.

His refusal to change showed against Juve. Walker, Gundo and Rico were still on the pitch at the end.

I think we'll see Lewis and Walker dropped when players return from injury. Gundogan will be much better in our midfield when he has other players around him in Jan (hopefully)

Just got to hope that Nick Hornby gets to read this thread.

He could write a book about it.

Getting top 4 and winning the court case would be a good season. With the CWC prize money it’s probably the ideal season to drop out of the CL if the rot continues.

Personally I think we need four key players in January and the summer. The spine of this team moving into next season should be Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden and Haaland. I think we need a proper right back, creative midfielder, holding/box to box midfielder and a wide player. Without sounding spoilt I’m talking players with the ability to replace Gundogan, KDB and Walker long term.

Potentially also a new goalkeeper as well and let Ederson go to Saudi
