Exactly,they keep chirping on about fergiscum being the best manager in the universe.but 2 champions league wins in 28 years is dismal considering the money he spent
Just shows he couldn't bully the officials in Europe like he did in the premier league

..... and it was not far off being a one team league for most of his tenure as well. In three of the seasons they did not win, it was either one or two points keeping them at bay or goal difference.

The gulf between them and the second most wealthiest team in the league with the most spending power back then was ridiculous.

Okay, they had Academy products, but their best players over that time were bought elsewhere.

Fuckin hell haha. They’re completely broken aren’t they.

Where is their white with black letters "GLAZIERS OUT" banner from the Wembley semi final?.

Probably taken off them when they left the stadium and burnt (hopefully).

Their first European cup win came in the late sixties and their second followed nearly 30 years afterwards. City played their first game in top level European competition in 2011 and won the champions league 12 year later. For all the rags extra opportunities to play in this competition and all the advantages of extra spending power they have held over City. Three European cups is pretty pathetic, they tell everyone they are the greatest club in the world. In their history they have won 20 league titles. City have won 7 since 2012, it won’t take long for our club to wash away their achievements into the sand.

I was om the same page as you re europe - until I remembered our first game in a top level european competition was 1968 ( Fenerbahcę)

It's actually 5 finals, they lost to Peps Barca twice

Seems to be collective amnesia about that when they are compared as managers. On both occasions the rags and gpc were given a lesson.

I think their window of opportunity to use it has passed. Bit of a pane for them.

Third bid for Mason Mount rejected. What they really need to do is set a deadline, that'll get things moving so they can turn the corner.

Or massively overpay. I miss the days of Woodward and his feeble grip on reality.

He's been convicted. It shows how media lies distort the truth. His next hearing is an appeal AGAINST his conviction.
England continue to play a criminal. If a player in a non red shirt was convicted of a minor crime, the media would demand he was dropped. Maguire continues to play despite the fact he is a CONVICTED criminal

Thanks for the update didn’t realise. Bloody media.
