It was the same with Big Mal though, some of the stuff he spouted set us up for a fall, but we loved it. It created a buzz about City and put us on the map.
I felt Sully was just doing exactly the same.
Now, we just have the normal press bullying with no one to put them straight. If Sully was still around, I'd like to believe he would not have taken any nonsense from them, set them up with City's agenda and manipulated them in the same way he does back in Abu Dhabi around his own business interests.
I'd take him back like a shot.
