Here's the obvious reason how the "genius" managed to build his great side.
How many times did Alex Ferguson break the English transfer record?
Alex Ferguson broke the English Transfer record 5 times FIVE TIMES

Morning everyone. So just got up and thought I would have a christmas trawl of the media regarding City. Here is a prime example of why I don't normally read it. A totally misleading headline which will lead to a lot of flapping and panic for all of a split second.
What..Pep has quit? Surely not. It would be all over the media,everywhere. But it is not, so ask yourself why would anyone use a headline like this?
Of course he hasn't but all it does is fan the flames of negativity towards the club. All the media are doing is controlling emotions ( not mine) of fans who have a lifetime of emotional investment in supporting and loving our club.
They want us gone. They want us relegated. They want Pep gone because he has literally turned the premier league into a farmers league ( unless it's Liverpool on top and a million miles clear)
My one piece of advice to anyone who does read it and lets it affect them then don't. Honestly, take it for what it is a load of Hyperbole that wll only intensify until we start winning again. They will then continue but revert back to 115 to keep that at the forefront of peoples mindset.
Enjoy Christmas. See you at Everton and Leicester.

I'd love to know the discussion that led to this article 'randomly' being published at this time. Maybe it's to give the rags a bit of a boost during a bad time, maybe it's to remind city fans that once upon a time the rags had the best manager. The thing is, it's always the positive slant on rag articles that is frustrating and the fact they always seem to appear out of context, I mean, why publish that random article today.
You only need to look at the other article on the BBC football pages to see the point (the one below). Even though it's technically talking about a negativity subject, the slant is very much 'its not the great club's fault, it's an individual players, and the great new manger is calling him out
The BBC football pages are like a red shirts Fanzine, its pathetic but sadly there is not a lot we can do, I pop in the HYS section now & again to plant a subtle time bomb which usually gets removed eventually, but not always :-)
I know its sad but its funny to see the reactions to a bit of a wind up & the Dippers are without doubt the easiest to offend.

After each defeat we are clearly briefing certain media types about January incomings to deflect the attention.
On the other side utd are throwing rashford under the bus and making sure their fans are blaming one person for their defeats.
Their PR advisors (probably instructed by scruffy Jim) act like a team from the 1980s

Reading BBC sport website is like reading the Ladybird Book of Football. A few uninformed hacks have decided they'll write about football having never had any interest in the game but have decided that united and dipperpool seem popular so we'll write all our articles about them.
The BBC haven't even got the brilliant Ladybird book artwork as a form of compensation.

From the last century when I had no access to Sky and very limited Internet. City were in what is currently the Championship. Monday Mirror had a football section with scores and reports from all divisions. Often barely a paragraph but beggars choosers etc. Whoa, City game has nearly half a page. Report talked about recent signing Mark Kennedy settling in. Soon became apparent, settling into his rented accommodation and his neighbour, Wanker Boy, who had a plush one on the top floor. Stupid fuckin remarks about borrowing sugar and hoping to rise up to be able to afford a penthouse etc. Barely a word about the game, just glorification of all things rag and their pauper neighbours. I can honestly say, I binned the Mirror from that day and pretty much all newspapers within a few years.
