Khaldoons End of Season Interview

[Maly]

His interview boils down to some simple facts:

• consistent excellence at every level of the club, in every department
• on and off the pitch we are best in class
• we are the most valuable sporting brand in the world
• the fans have made the Etihad a fortress in the CL
• he sees that we can be even better
• he can't talk about the charges but he will when its over
• he respects Ilke decision if he decides not to renew

that was about it. All delivered in that urbane, corporate slick style we have grown to love.

Plus he mentions numerous times about our players being humble & hungry to learn

Can someone do bullet points of the important stuff for those of us who can't watch at work?

Think that covers it.

Was nothing really interesting, usual handshakes all around. Haaland told him in his first convo that he'd win the CL.

Two things stood out to me:

He looked genuinely angry when talking about the charges and said he'd love to share his strong feelings but can't due
to legals but will one day.

In what I'm sure was not a coincidence, after talking about the charges, he then said that many top clubs are chasing/poaching City executives. The underlying/implied point being the same clubs accusing City of fraud think their executives are world class and want to employ them.

Good spot.

Regarding the 115 charges, if we had fouled up somewhere, that was the ideal time to say so IMHO, and any likely punishment.

He's certainly not smug, but very satisfied we're heading in the right direction.

I think we should be buoyant/upbeat.

The word I noticed most from the interview which was repeated several times was "humble".
I guess we won't be signing Mbappe any time soon then!

I preferred Swales.

That`s only because you admired his comb over.

 

[nicko]

This guy is a highly driven winner. He has set the tone these last 10-12 years and sounds as hungry as ever for success.
The best of the best.

On the club's performance he was asked what he found particularly satisfying....

“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”

I heard that as well.
