They instead chose to sell out the Etihad, roar Mancini's name and contribute to making sure the Sunday talk wasn’t fixated on player and fan unrest at what has been a trying campaign.
Manchester City have - but for a selection of coin throwers and the odd pitch invader - a wonderful band of supporters who remain fiercely loyal to their team. “Where were you when you were s**t?” asked the travelling Watford lot. “We were here,” was the reply. And they weren’t wrong.
The huge attendances at Maine Road that roared City on in what is now League One were comprised of the same folk who now swell this picturesque arena.
Loyal to their team, yes, but also loyal to those who have done them no wrong. In the eyes of City fans, the manager is a magician. To reclaim the Premier League title after so many years, even with the finance available, was a monumental achievement. He therefore deserves total respect when the going gets tough, as it has done recently.
