Re: Winter defends Marwood

Should this not be renamed 'Winter paid to defend Marwood by Marwood / City hierarchy' ?

Winter is a good guy like Martin Samuel. Talks a lot of sense.

Yes.
I remember mancinis first press conference well.

A good jouno shouldn't always be on our side. I'd take that over outright bias of most of them. He has defended us when we were clearly in the right against the unthinking mob.

Re: Winter defends Marwood

Just heard that Levi gone to Shaktar to try and get Willian - Thats what you need to do if clubs are not playing ball you send in the organ grinder not the monkey

Unfortunately they've all gone to Monaco for the Champions League draw.

Yep, Winter was the worst of the lot. Fucking hyena he was that day.

With good reason.

Good job Mr Marwood

If they've all gone to Monaco it might be a good place to negotiate a last minute deal.

I thought the draw wasn't until Thursday Evening 5.00pm your time?

Perhaps they all need to piss in each others pockets for two days on a stay in one of Albert's finest for three days and get one day free.

Re: Winter defends Marwood

My thinking is that we are doing things the right way to make sure we are no flash in the pan and have long term stability.
Mancini is still thinking along the lines of a kid in a sweetshop,he doesn't care about longevity as he probably wont even see out his contract,he simply wants as much success as soon is possible,understandable from his perspective.......
However,the financial aspect of that could bite us on the arse further down the line,Marwood is making sure that we strike the right balance,the way the owners want it.

Correct, it is the managers job to want the best team at present, it is Marwood's job to ensure sustainability.

They are both doinbg their job correctly.

Re: Winter defends Marwood

i've nerver been a fan of marwood, in his days as a co-commentator on sky's pay per view games he was very critical of city and came across as miserable git.

having said that i think he's the current bogey man on here, the fun sponge who is standing in the way of our progress but i have no doubt that he is acting within his brief and under orders.

what i would worried about is the winter article is setting us up to lower expectations, saying we'll get sinclair, possibly garcia and there's a long shot we may get de rossi.

the byword is sustainability as a club etc. the problem i have is that the best way to achieve sustainablity, grow revenues and increase the club's profile is through continued success. if we fail to invest properly we risk that. not saying we can't win the league with our current squad, we are still the bookies favourites, but we would greatly increase our chances with some key acquisitions.

it would also help our future sustainability if we can achieve more in the champions league but the likes of sinclair and rodwell are less likely to help us achieve this than say martinez, de rossi and rvp.
