I thought this was going to happen, I wouldn’t be surprised if Haaland breaks records and doesn’t receive any of the player’s or writer’s awards.
It can only happen to City , not sure but didnt Pulis get manager of the year when Pellegrini won the title ? Or was it Mancini , Halland will easily break the league scoring record and probably wont make the team of the season.
 
Can anyone remember the excitement Sky is showing for the league cup final when we won it back to back three times? Wall to wall coverage because the rags are in the final of something that is number 4 on a priority list for City and as a tournament wont have the top teams in England competing in it after 2025.
The rags sneered it's a Mickey Mouse trophy until they won it in 2017 when it became a major trophy. It then reverted to being a Mickey Mouse trophy for another 6 years until - hey presto! - it's suddenly a major trophy again.

Pardew won it in 2012 despite Mancini winning the title at City. Pulis won it in 2014 when Pellegrini - in his first season in England - won the title and the League Cup. The following year Mourinho - in his second spell in England - repeated Pellegrini's feat and won the MOTY. Last season Klopp won it despite Pep winning the title.

In the 29 years of the award 24 MOTYs have been awarded to the manager of the title winners. Only 5 times has the title winning manager not won it and 3 of those times it was at the expense of a title winning City manager.

That's the way these things work.
