The five guys came across as totally normal, sound, Manc football fans. The manager was absolute shite, but was he wearing a City shirt when he was driving?

I have to admit they all came across ok. I have no time whatsoever for giggs but Neville seems a decent enough lad.

I'll be honest, I've never minded the Nevilles - proper football people even if they're reds. For some reason I've always thought Butt and Scholes were twats though...probably cos they gob off about City. Giggs is just a personality-less void...I've no idea why people think he will make a good manager - but I'm hoping the Glazers are in that deluded camp!
Anyway, the programme. Thought it was enjoyable. Except they proper glossed over Power's sacking. He got basically no right of reply after they'd all rubbished him. And if you read the papers at the time you know how he felt the Rag5 handled it.

I'd heard they were doing a programme about Salford City but when I saw the title last night I assumed it was a different programme that was yet another wankfest over the Class of '92. Will have to watch it now.
I don't have an issue with them putting money into Salford City to help improve the club - I see it as something similar to what our owner has done but on a much smaller scale of course. Give me a 75 year old football club - that has survived on gates of around 100 or so all this time - getting a leg up the ladder over them attention seeking cunts at FC SCUM any day of the fucking week.

I assume we can expect 2 hour long documentaries on other non-league sides from now on - Wealdstone and Didcot for example?
I'm shocked, just shocked I tell you, to hear that the sacking got glossed over.

Funny the old guy saying he quite liked it when they were shit,the roof was leaking etcetera and if he wanted better quality and conditions he could go to any one of the bigger clubs on his doorstep.He has a point.
Was it Colin Shindler by any chance?
Given the rest of the shite on telly it was quite an enjoyable way to pass an hour. You've just got to remember that it's as much a reality show as it is a factual documentary, it's designed to entertain and to show 'the boys' (mainly Neville and Giggs) in a positive light. There's a lot of incidents that are just too convenient to be fully believable. Gary Neville, Sky Sports presenter owns a football club with a snide sky box...hmmm. Your star striker turns up 30 minutes late for an FA Cup match at Ashton when he just happens to have a camera crew in his car and his mum's somehow managed to find it and get there on time. Then, surprise surprise, here comes Peter Lim the Singapore billionaire backer of most of the Neville/Giggs enterprises, no wonder the Old Trafford hierarchy aren't too happy with the way that little clan is developing.
