Patreon Bonus Show: Bogey Teams
For some inexplicable reason, there are some teams that City aren't able to beat. Right now it's Wigan - but in the past it's been Sunderland, Everton, Tottenham... On this week's bonus show, we're trying to work out why some teams have been bogey teams for City. That's available for people who back at either the $2/m tier, the $5/m tier or the $10/m tier: https://www.patreon.com/posts/12-8-extra-bogey-36845487

Really enjoyed that season.

Does anybody know what date he was fired?

Does anybody know what date he was fired?

The news broke that he was going to be sacked at the end of April. This BBC News report was published on the 29th April: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/7370698.stm

This Bleacher Report piece suggests that it was early June when he actually lost his job: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/26632-manchester-city-confirm-sven-goran-eriksson-sacked

Thanks. I though the might have been sacked shortly after the 8-1.
I was on my homeymoon at that time and all the bad news just seemed to blend into one. ; )

What a fantastic season, apart from the end when mad Frank pissed everyone off.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Dreamy about him last night, i'm on this forum too much. He was walking passed me during lockdown , in a hurry to catch his bus!

For me it was one of my most enjoyable since the 80s that day we signed was in 6 players??? crazy stuff, hated him as England manager but thought he fit City perfectly at the time.
