Here's the article, sans paywall, if anyone's interested.

To be fair I have criticised Sam Lee many times but that article is excellent and seems very authentic. I enjoyed the line that the mix-up on the size of the release clause was because Raiola had deliberately inflated the figure he gave to the interested parties and City only found out it was just £51m recently. It looks like City got the Green Light in February which squares with what some excellent posters on here (Tolmie) suggested at the time. It has been a coup for City and a coup for Bluemoon!

Maybe he will only get half the award ? top or bottom, I'm not sure, maybe cut down the middle.
As you say, he was in charge for half the month, weird.

Not fulfilling the full period and still getting the award is standard when City are in opposition though.

Remember us playing huddersfield in the cup, winning 5-1, and that scouse dwarf murphy giving man of the match to a young player for huddersfield who played just.............60 minutes of the ninety????

Pep and our players must feel like our eurovision entries when it comes to being rated alongside their contemparies.

Tactical analysis from the likes of Ornstein and Sam Lee is like getting parental adivce from Jimmy Saville and Gary Glitter

They do have Michael Cox too, and he's a huge fan of Pep. They also appear to have some experts/analysts, who either co-write some of the more complex articles, or I assume provide advice to the journalists.

The DT this morning is more than usually fulsome in its praise of Kev's performance last night, and then they describe the goal where he wanders across the Wolves area and thumps in a left foot shot as reminding the hack of Sir Blobby Fuckin' Charlton. They never miss an opportunity to slip some shite in!

Just cancelled my subs about an hour ago. Explained why when asked and also told them I didn't expect the sort of bile I could read in the Mail/Mirror, whichever page it is printed on.

Not being arrogant or owt mate but i don’t need anyone to analyse a game of football for me, i think i’m pretty clued up on the rudiments and nuances of association football but each to their own
 
I didn't know where to put this as I dont know the commentators name but considering sky is media I thought here.

You have to laugh at how he came to the conclusion why we signed Dias and Haaland. Apparently Dias was bought because we lost 5-2 to Leicester and the reason we have bought Haaland is because we lost to Madrid.

Absolutely pathetic, but they know most of there bitter audience will lap it up.

Yep. Fair's fair, the article doesn't have the issues I brought up on the tweet. It's an interesting read and I don't have many reasons to doubt the story as told (other than the Board having to ask what a 190 million investment was for, but I suppose that can be put down to artistic licence). Some things I hadn't heard before which I am willing to take at face value.

Was thinking this myself. Our recruitment must work incredibly fast....

Nice one. A lot of people on Bluemoon have a bit of knowledge about various parts of the club including myself. And when you put all the jigsaw pieces together it is interesting how good this forum is at collectvely getting information in advance. The Forum was superb during the CAS saga with lots of Golden nuggets. I had a couple myself from a surprising but 100 per cent reliable source. And of course who can forget Ian Cheeseman's world exclusive that City had been "exonerated." The truth is that the fans are well ahead of the curve compared to the mainstream media.

Worked for thirty years when it was journalism. These modern fanboys are not only useless, they are thick as fuck. Embarrassing really. Can't forget Sam Lee's be a sports journalist for "x" amount of sheets. PUDDING.
