The guy is just an idiot, he knows that we are here to push the rags all the way in every comp we play for. The guy is trying to make all the right noises for taking over SAF when he retires. My guess is that we will have to push SAf closer to retirement this season by making sure they don't anything again.

pirate said:gordondaviesmoustache said:Is this '"defending the title is really hard, everyone wants to beat the champions" thing new?
I'm sure I didn't hear it mentioned last season
thats cos last season it was "the first title is the hardest to win" bollox
I think the new one is more bollocks. The first one is harder to win, after that it should get easier.

Hey big spenders: Man United coach hits out at City's 'quick-fix' mega spending
"I know a little bit the mentality of the Arabs and it's keep on spending, spending, spending until they've got it, right. There's no foundation based on a long-term sort of thing," says Rene Meulensteen
Splashing the cash: City became the richest club in the world after their takeover by the Abu Dhabi Group
Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team coach has blasted Manchester City's big-spending policy and said they have no long-term strategy.
City's mega-rich Abu Dhabi owners have spent £480million on players in four years, compared to £185m by Manchester United over the same period.
Although City's riches ultimately saw them crowned champions last season, United coach Rene Meulensteen said their transfer policy had “no foundation” and said they will struggle to retain the title.
“City has got a sort of different policy, right?” said Meulensteen. “It's the quick-fix, so to speak.

“I know the owners, I've been in the Middle East myself, I know a little bit the mentality of the Arabs and it's keep on spending, spending, spending until they've got it, right.
“There's no foundation based on a long-term sort of thing. If you look at the squad in general, they are all mid-20s, established players.
“So you've got experience and all this, that and the other, so really that's the way that they wanted to go. They've got hold of that champions [status] now.
“We know as no other club what it is to win the league and then start again. Right, it is hard, it is difficult, the motivation is different, certainly the pressures they have to deal with is different.”
Meulensteen also said City will find it a harder task now they are champions, with other teams desperate to claim their prized scalp.
“They will be looked upon differently,” said Meulensteen in an interview with United fanzine Red News.

“Like I said, you hit a patch where you hit the wrong notes and it can be really difficult, but the most important thing for us is we're not really too bothered about that.
“We look to what we stand for, what we want and I'm sure as long as the manager is in charge we will never move away too far from our principles and values that we stand for.”
