Pretty sure last summer he told the M.E.N he doesn't even watch us TV unless it's the derby. The thing I find hollow about his argument is that he is of the generation who enjoyed the success and glamour of the club fifty years or so ago. If you're a Manchester kid or someone with affinity with the club enjoying the success and glamour of the club now, then this is your Bell-Summerbee-Lee era. You should be able to enjoy that without people calling you a JCL just because you weren't born in the 50s. There have always been ups and downs for the club and there have always been Blues. He seems to think it should have been our destiny to stay struggling, but if, in a Sliding Doors scenario, we had maintained the success of the Mercer-Allison era we probably would have ended up in the same place as we are now anyway. He's also exaggerating. The club can't have 'lost it's soul' because the core fanbase is still from the same places it always was. He is just older now, bored of it and chooses to see the background of our ownership as a personal insult.
