It's so laughable and predictable that there is nothing on the front page headlines of the bbc football page after 5 in the top ten, best striker best club and Eddie.

Mind you the news page isn't any better. Chris Mason (Kussenberg replacement) reckons the Covid enquiry is going quite well and nobody is to blame and couldn't have predicted anything. They really are an organisation that can be influenced by outside interests in most things.

I’m not surprised.

A good article examining the differences between how us and the Rags are run. Nothing particularly new it but it reminded me of City in the latter years of Swales where there were rumours that people in the club wanted us to fail.

Manchester United: The problems facing Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford

Ralf Rangnick's appointment at Manchester United is largely regarded as a mistake - but was his diagnosis right all along?

I was in Manchester business school today for a course and was talking to their director for exec education who had said they work with both City and utd and the difference between them was huge. City are very relaxed, professional, exude a business philosophy and confidence in how they interact with the school. Mentioned they'd done joint events in Hong Kong and other places......on the other had he said the rags had poor facilities, charged them to use them, seemed disjointed in how they ran their courses, were not considered a partner, had conflicting philosophies depending on who you spoke to...etc etc.

It was very clear the differences are more than financial ...they run deep and what we (our owners and stakeholders) have achieved cannot be copied or replicated by the rags...

Are the rag sports apologists in hiding until they beat Newcastle reserves in the league cup?

Completely agree. The BBC has obviously been a Tory speak piece for years now, and their doing just the same for the rags. I used to think the BBC was special and something that made me proud to be English. 20 years later I've realised it's just a propaganda outfit like the rest of the msm.

The BBC stopped having a Tory bias about 30 years ago , now they are about as left wing as Jack Grealish in a Pep team

That’s complete b*llocks. Either you’re a tory mp or a rich person who doesn’t understand the word empathy. Which one is it? Or maybe your a rag cos every blue i know actually wants everyone else to do well, because we know the better society is, the better for everyone.

Only 9 United articles picking through the United derby debacle currently in the Daily Mail online. Nothing about City's performance until you scroll to the bottom of the page to this mornings post match derby articles,

The match report in the mail was fantastic. Oliver holt I think

They have always gone big on history. It's where their glory days have been and they seem terrified of losing it but to replicate it but to do so will mean time is extended and will paying supporters keep on backing them in numbers.

They need three things or else it will fail.
1-A huge clear out.
2-A return to youth development.
3-A Scottish Manager.
Thats what history requires, a complete change to their development days but only God knows how long that is going to happen.
