I never watch Sunday Supplement and never listen to Talksport. I do read some of the press but my main source for City is actually watching the games and for other clubs whatever matches are on the tele. I suspect it's the same for the three wise men (or monkeys) on SS! From what I gather on here Custiss is a loyal slave to Mourinho, rather than a lifelong rag, and for nearly two seasons he has had to watch the unwinding of the Mourinho myth. He saved his bacon on the "Mourinho guarantees you trophies" theme last season - just about, but hardly with the trophies rags were expecting, and he is vulnerable to Keane's jibe that "you know you're in trouble when the manager claims the community shield as a trophy." This season the whole house of cards has come crashing down. This is the second season, the magical one, when Mourinho ALWAYS wins the title, but now winning the cup and finishing second (neither yet achieved by any means) is the definition of a good second season, and excellent return on the £300 odd million he's spent. The gap must never be mentioned and Custiss has to defend every last word of that stunning (and highly amusing) press conference in which Mourinho gave a novel and original view of Manchester United's (now insignificant and dreary) 'istry and tradition. Greater love hath no man than that he should lay down his club's past to save his manager's life! And so we have a hero stuck with a fossilised dinosaur which he is trying to whip into life to take on an oil rich state which dopes his rival financially to a level the rags can't compete with so that fair competition is impossible and City will be able to receive the PL trophy in front of their empty stadium. And I repeat - if this is an accurate representation of Mr Custiss's views, I have written it without reading or listening to a word of his. That may speak volumes for the depth of his analysis.
