They're trying to tell us we're getting an excellent coach in the same way Lee told us we were getting a world-class manager.Ticket For Schalke said:You think the club is trying to fool the fans?
We weren't then and knew it and most of us know it now.
Franny Lee, toilet roll millionaire.
Mansour - Very very clever businessman, who has made astonomical amounts.
its unfair to compare the past with the situation the club finds itself in today.

It's not really his (failed) Manchester United connections that are causing so much feeling is it! That's just a hysterical add on.
He's more well known for playing for Villa (and he's deeply unpopular with a lot of Villa fans as well). It's the fact he has publically never showed any respect towards City. It's not a case of pointing out obvious things ala - such & such had a bad game...
He has a genuine dislike to our club that he's never even had the dignity to try and hide and now we will be paying him a healthy wage.
The bloke is an absolute weapon and a failed one at that.

Well, I disagree on this as his reputation is a big one in football coaching circles, but I can see why his managerial record would make people shy away from him.
At the end of the day, the coaches bread and butter is on the training field. We should ask DH to tell us the score on what changes are rung on there.

Is it?
Franny Lee had significantly more experience of football than the Shiekh, the chairman and Cook.
All they have is cash, that's it.
And their record of managerial decisions is questionable so far in my opinion.

Have we had any more quotes yet (apart from the 'gravy train' one) that show Platt's constant slagging off of us?

Comments like that will want to make him take jobs like this, to prove people wrong like you, and i bloody hope he does.

I would have had both Ferguson and Neville at City in a heartbeat at the height of their abilities.
All that matters is ability not some perceived fan insecurity.
nice one, so where do you rate platts ability then?
