I can't decide if he his being serious, in with case he is a fool, or joking, in which case he isn't funny.
Education adorns the wit and corrupts the judgement.
The Metropolitan Boroughs of Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport, Bury, Bolton, Tameside, Wigan & Trafford together with the Cities of Manchester and Salford, comprise a purely conceputal area known, since 1974, as Greater Manchester. This entity was created in anticipation of a form of Regional government which didn't materialise. It is used with meaning only to signify the area covered by the police and fire services.
Each of the above has a Premier/Football League club, with the sad exceptions of Tameside and Salford. The only club in the City of Manchester is of course .... well you must know that surely.
