How come silly Sally hasn't done a story or Blue Peter hasn't awarded the club a badge

We already have. Directly opposite the stand named after him. His number was 8.

Or 1-11 when we are singing his song...!

That's the kindest Jordan has ever spoken about us. I rarely/never listen to Talkshite because all they talk is shite, especially Simon 'I spent(lost) a lot of money at Palace' Jordan. However, possibly due to Pep's comment he now argues that other clubs have also spent money and in most cases more than us. Seems Pep sarcasm has worked.

I don't think you can use the Europa in the comparison as we haven't had the opportunity of winning it.

It's the European "Community" shield.

It pains me to defend Jordan but virtually everything he said here is fair comment and he defended City's spending strongly by saying all big clubs do it. He said he would be disappointed as a City fan if City didn't "set up to win the quadruple" but Jim White (as he does) twisted his comment. Jordan didn't use the phrase underachieved. I don't know any City fan who has said we will win the quadruple but I am delighted that we are "giving it a go." I would be upset if we didn't win the title and the League Cup from this position, the Everton cup tie is a big test, and the CL remains a lottery.

I think he was fair enough about the spending, even if he said it through gritted teeth. Another clip I saw with Goldstein (or whatever he's called) and his Chelsea sidekick Cundy was pathetic as they spouted similar views that we should win everything and it would be a bottle job if we failed. Goldstein the rag who has barely ever visited Trafford saying he couldn't understand why we don't care about the CL, this coming from a muppet who presumably usually pays over the odds for any big match ticket that he rarely gets off his arse to actually watch. I can't understand anyone actively supporting competitions and making City fans out as villans when uefa, fifa and some clubs are pricing the working class fans out of the game.

Still need a Plan B ;-)

You were right all along GD, there is actually a Plan B.

Its Plan A, only better!

I seem to remember Len Cantello was a City fan. Am I right or am I imagining it?

You're right. He's a Manc and played on the same Manchester Boys team as Tony Towers.

The powers that be within football have always said that football is a special sector of business that requires a different approach to success.
Our owner has shown that a shrewd normal business plan spending for all areas of need can given time be successful.

Its not how much you spend its where and when you spend that brings a business plan to maturity.

I would describe £45m plus Otamendi for Dias as the deal of the decade. What do you think Dias will be worth at the end of this season as one of the best defenders in the world. Looks like we have doubled our money again on one of our players. To get Cancelo for £60m is also brilliant business.

City also got £33 million from Juventus for Danilo at the same time so Cancelo effectively cost £27 million. How's that for a couple of nett spends?

Unless he’s lying next to you :-)

I would be up the nearest tree then so bloody quick!
