It's slowly dawning on some of them. Ferguson saw it quicker which is why he jumped ship while his legacy was not tarnished. He gave it all the noisy neighbour's shit when we were still playing catch up but inside he knew we were going to knock him off his perch.

The funny thing is, however posters on here think of Pogba, Martial and De Gea, all 3 are big name players and if they're engineering an exit, it'll put the rags back to pretty much where we were at the takeover, lots of money but with a squad that we needed to spend 3 years intelligently building before top players would even look at us, but in a much tougher league (where it's far more difficult to take players from the teams around you), with a more congested market for players and no guarantee of lucking out as we did with Tevez.It's slowly dawning on some of them.

Oh and a far higher wage bill and shit owners.
Happy days.
If the rags bring in a 'modern' manager, who tries to play football like we, and others, do, the alpaca is not the right 'keeper to build the team around.
Spain pick him though.

It's utter nonsense to say that there is a general poor standard among premier league teams at the moment.
Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool are all having their best ever starts to a PL season and while City are 2 points down on where they stood after 13 games last year, they have played more top 6 sides and have taken more points against those teams so far.
So, the Premier League has never been stronger . . . and the reason for our bitter angst is that other clubs have improved while we've stood still.
It's not even a money thing either. There are six teams above us, including Spurs and Everton, so it looks daft when some of our supporters point at City's spending.

I agree. The rot started towards the end of Ferguson's reign as he had an ageing side that needed rebuilding. Not a lot of thought went into it they just went out and bought big reputations and it hasn't really worked. If the rot lasts a few more years their reputation and standing in the game won't hold sway anymore, as young players won't really be aware of it or give a shit.
After spending something like 300 million they haven't really progressed and if anything have gone backwards. The best thing they could do now is appoint a good young coach like Eddie Howe who would instantly remove Mourhino's toxicity. He would steady the ship and start to build and also plays good football. I don't see how he could do any worse.

Even if they brought in Howe they need a football man higher up as well, never been Marwood's biggest fan but he did a good job of planning out the squad and recruitment across Clueless and Bobby Manc, giving the latter a good platform to build from. Txiki has been brilliant. They have Woodward.I agree. The rot started towards the end of Ferguson's reign as he had an ageing side that needed rebuilding.

Never mind him seeing it and jumping ship, it’s all his fault! And he’s getting away with no blame for all of it yet going back to The Rock Of Gibraltar, Magnier and MacManus, the ‘99 Questions’, the Glazers coming in, his comments about us as a club giving us motivation and something to aim for, falling out with Woodwood...It's slowly dawning on some of them. Ferguson saw it quicker which is why he jumped ship while his legacy was not tarnished.

Fergie built them up to what they became but he’s the root cause for why it’s all turned to shit!
I just hope that’s the next line of blame from the Rags, I hope they all cotton on at some point that this is all down to Baconface himself, really tarnishing the legacy, that’d be the icing on the cake!

2nd day in a row we have stats that show this and yet still that poor excuse for a journalist Jim White on that poor excuse for a Radio Station say its boring because we are the ones winning - its all just blatant propaganda - they all had the dippers hoovering players and trophies up and then the rags doing it. Everything was cool in their cozy world, they had contacts, they were good for a story and some dramatic info and so on - now they are unhappy we are doing what we are doing - they are out of the loop and frankly they are worried for their livelihoods

That could change if his form stays as bad as it has been recently when playing for them

Totally agree, but the fuckwits don't want to acknowledge it because of the success he brought to them.
