Txiki Begiristain

Txiki's job is not to buy players at short notice because the knowledge on Bluemoon says it must be so; he is the Director of Football of a team that is the most successful of the decade in England and has just won, in 2020-2021, the Premier League, Carabao Cup, U18 league and U23 league. In his time as Director, City has grown into one of Europe's leading clubs, setting standards in terms of structure, style, and science that are generally considered as examples for the world to follow. Most fans of other clubs look at us with envy, at every level, and are extremely vocal about us because of that envy. We have been told over the years that the owners will get bored, that Pep won't come, that Pep won't stay, that we have no fans, that we don't have any academy players in the team, and all of it has proven to be absolute shite. We are a long way from Peter Swales and, as blues, we should celebrate everything we have, right now, because these are the absolute best of times.

well in a way yes, in a way no. but I also struggle to justify the fee spent on Grealish when they go out and spend 35 on Jota and 40 on Diaz who slot right in from debut and keep scoring every game for them almost. and we let Kun leave, let Torres leave, sign a striker from River who might arrive July, next Jan or spend 5 years at Girona before we sell him and dont get me started on the Charlie Kane transfer special last summer where Levy didnt pick up the phone while we were entertaining Charlie Kane who talked his brother into signing a way too long contract in the first place.

we should have put ourselves in much better situation in the transfer market last summer then splashing the cash for Grealish who is good to have but would this team be levels worse if he didnt arrive? is it levels better with him? it probably pushed Sterling, Jesus closer to the door to leave due to somewhat less game time (Torres too), but Grealish will always struggle in the stat department in terms of assist/goals while Sterling was our main scorer in last 5 years behind Kun probably and he played a lot from the left where Grealish is playing now, but we wont be able to expect similar goal stats from Grealish so others have to chip in more but we are on a knife edge with that because none of the guys are clinical.

to be honest I am still not 100% sure he will deliver Haaland or a top striker next summer. we could be here in end of August and wondering if Foden or Gundo should be the false 9 going forward.

It was a stupid decision to not sign a striker last summer or not to try in this January window. To let a player leave as well just topped it off. I think we've done brilliantly to stay at the top for so long this season with no striker, but it definitely looks like it's going to bite us on the arse now

Id take Champions League win anyday of the week over Carabao Cup dominance. So would our board.

Dippers also in pole position to win another title to that on top of another title.

Look at the difference in cash spent, there is no denying who is doing better job and its certainly not Txiki.

That’s quite selectively pessimistic. As well as EFL Cup dominance we’ve also won three Premier League titles in four years.

And how are they in pole position to win this title? Even if they win their game in hand, they’re a point behind us. 13 games ago they were point behind us, nothing’s changed over the Winter period.

Pole position means first place mate.

I did Txiki a disservice, we’ve actually won 4 league titles 6 League Cups and an FA Cup while he’s been at City. Only a lunatic or a dipper would claim that their paltry trophy haul during that period is evidence that his counterpart at Anfield is doing a better job than Txiki
