I will have a new found respect for the guy if he comes. Potentially sacrificing salary to come to such a demanding league at 36 knowing he will have to urgently adapt to Pep's philosophies without question..

The only hope is it's a short enough deal that it's an all or nothing deal and we get enough out of him for long enough to make it work, despite all the damage it will do.
 
Makes perfect sense. There's a breed of City fan now that exists who despise our board as "incompetent".

They're spoilt children who believe that City should sign every player in the world regardless of fee or circumstances and if they can do it on FIFA then why can't Txiki do it?

You have to remember that if you're 16-20 now, pretty much all your football supporting life City have been a glamorous club that spends big money. They might know Dickov and Goater in passing but it's rare, and they've got no idea who the fuck people like Joe Royle or even Richard Dunne are. Let alone White, Lake, Hinchcliffe and that generation nor Lee, Bell and Summerbee.

There's no family tradition of support of a parent or older sibling to tell them stories and this specific type of fan doesn't care enough to look it up. They think it doesn't matter. What matters is signing the latest rumoured signing and if it doesn't come off then it's all somebody's fault, usually Txiki who has very little to do with it in the scheme of things. Most of them don't even understand what his job is.

I really dislike these people. They're the worst thing about social media. Not all fans abroad or all young fans but this specific group of spoilt brats.
I suspect you’re somewhat mistaken in your belief that this is only a trait in the youth, overseas supporters or in any JCL’s. I hear plenty of criticism from people who really should know better but don’t and, reading other posts on here, I don‘t believe that many of the ‘board are rubbish’ type posters, fall into your stereotypes.
