Colin Schindler is entitled to his opinion, but the world has changed dramatically since he was a young man supporting City. He is 74 now and from a different generation to most City fans. He remembers the good old days and whatever that means to him. That's fine, he needs to face facts though, things change and for City things have definitely changed for the better. The owners are doing a great job and the players doing the same on the pitch. What's not to like. When he complains about City he should really direct his ire at global capitalism, climate change and tax evasion. Perhaps he should write some books about those things. They are far more scary than anything that is happening at Man City.

'The comparisons between Erling Haaland and Rasmus Hojlund are obvious.'

Turns out the guy scored 9 league goals last season in 32 games...

They just cant help themselves can they…

However, im convinced its counter productive. Heaps unnecessary pressure on the player from the plastics which inevitably they cant live up too. Long may it continue!!

Same thing happened at Liverpool in the early 90’s, took them 30 years to recover from it

He can at least rest in his mind that he's witnessed his beloved City managed by the great Peter Swales. I'm sure that'll give him great comfort when theres so much greed in the modern game.

You've missed the best line of the whole article....

They have privately ruled out making approaches for Paris St-Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Tottenham's Harry Kane, who are both world-class frontmen.

Basically only pensioners can remember our success in the late 60s. I don't remember any of it, I was 7 when I went to my first game in 1970. All us young ones deserve every trophy that we're winning and hopefully many more.

I read Schindler's book when it came out and as a close contemporary I identified with the passages about the bad old days when we still stood by a crap team and the redemption of the Mercer-Allison years. Then he became weird and the book went to a charity shop years ago.

I read the book, but I recall there was more references to Cricket than City. Load of shite
