I love the guy and as long as he wants to be City manager he will have my loyalty. He’s more than earned it.
but I’m not afraid to say that it might be time for him to leave for pastures new. Good for him and good for the club longer term. Nothing to do with today, and fwiw I believe we will win the title this year or at least go very close.
I simply mean that there are signs that the club is becoming a little too dependant in him and I don’t want the situation where we become too dependant on one single employee. We’ve seen other clubs go through strife after a long term manager moves on.
The decision to not sign a striker in the summer after spending 100m on yet another midfielder was shockingly bad. If we had 100m for Grealish who we didn’t have an urgent need for and then bid 80m for an overrated harry kane who spurs were never ever going to sell, why not offer the whole 180m for Haaland and blow every other club out of the water?
His stubbornness, whilst a strength in many situations, is also pissing me off. Why continue to play sterling in any capacity? It simply cannot be for his contributions so it must be bloody mindedness. And it’s going to cost us as he is shit and is moving on as soon as possible so why not drop him until he looks like regaining his form and commitment for example.
Im probably not communicating my thoughts very well about this, but I wouldn’t be devastated if this was his last season.
It’s only an opinion from a fan on a forum, but for me the club needs a major freshen up and that cannot happen until we get a new manager.
