How is it shit how did we attract top players
It isn't shit at all. I don't know why people constantly prefer to buy into media crap. Open your eyes.
We had the right people and motivations in getting the players in, the difference between us and Liverpool?
-We have Roberto Mancini, a big name in Italian football from the last decade and who some of the continents best players have played with or against personally/his Inter and City team.
-They have Kenny Dalglish, a has been who made a name for himself over a decade and a half ago, but has lost it.
-We have ambition, we tell the players where we want to be, which is to dominate English and European football.
-They have history which they bone about, they will emphasise to potential players the PAST history of the club and how glorious Liverpool USED to be and what an honour it will be to play for them. What players want to go somewhere that always look to the past instead of the future, which they want to build?
As a player I'd want to make history, not be repeatedly told of someone else's glory. It's ungrateful.
Yes we, Manchester City, have a glorious history, which the players are fully aware of, but the fans and the club do not bone on about it and shove it down their necks at every opportunity. There is no pressure, because we as a club and fans do not hold the opinion that we have a 'god given right' to glory or to win things.
