Personally I always liked Henry Winter's writing and thought he wrote about City as a football team in a fair and even admiring way. Whether his opinion about the club's financial dealings ("cleared but not innocent") is based on mere journalistic instinct or guessing in the dark or an insight based on inside knowledge is a question that remains to be answered. It won't get answered fairly if the PL, which means rags, L'pool, Arsenal, are determined to do us in, but I don't think Winter himself is an active part of that conspiracy.
More generally, there's many City fans, I'm one, who always had the nagging thought that the dazzling brilliance of the last 12 years was a bubble that might burst. Let's hope they (we) are wrong.
I actually feel he’s treated us with contempt but was good to support Raheem against his racist media colleagues.
