So we spend the whole summer haggling down Leipzig to make sure we don’t pay more for Gvardiol than Maguire cost. But Sly Sports weren’t to be outsmarted!
Please don’t:-)

The Manchester divide that goes well beyond a football rivalry
"Children being born and brought up in the home of Manchester's triumphant Citizens face among the worst health prospects in the country - but children born in the Devils' backyard are 50 per cent less likely to grow up impoverished", according to so called `new`academic research as reported in today`s Manchester Evening News (MEN).

The MEN does not, however, provide any analysis or balanced commentary.
Public and private agencies have been trying to tackle inequality for as long as anyone can remember. This is not news despite the co-authors thinking that it is.
The reality is that it is pretentious, attention seeking academics once again who cast out a hook to justify their research in order to try and convince others that that they need more funding for their next research project. Once again, City is their hook.
Trafford is not Manchester. It is one of the wealthiest boroughs. It is a contrived comparison by the academics and undermines the serious matters.This appears to be as much about them and their profile as the real issues.
Perhaps they could do something useful such as working for City in the Community.
Football clubs are not responsible for public health, poverty and inequality however they can contribute to a range of measures by government, local authorities and other agencies, as well as developing their own initiatives.
City in the Community and the City Football Group are leaders. The report writers and MEN failed to grasp the opportunity to recognise this work in Manchester and beyond. Why?
