Thanks for the kind words guys. I think most of our fans like and respect City and can't stand United and Liverpool (or the Scum and the Dippers as I've learned from this forum!). We have had a fantastic couple of years under the god that is Nuno and Fosun have done a magnificent job, especially when I look at what Chinese owners have done at Villa, Albion and Blues. They had a ropey first season with the eccentric Walter Zenga and the dullard Paul Lambert but then along came Nuno and he transformed us into one of the Championship's greatest ever sides and then continued that into the Premier League. Remember that Carabao Cup game where we took your boys all the way to penalties?
Signing Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota for the second tier was insane then upon promotion the signings of Rui Patricio and Joao Moutinho (£5m for the man we all say is the most gifted player we have ever seen in a gold shirt), 7th is great for our first season back and a Wembley semi too which we sadly through away to Watford late on - you may have beaten us in the final but I think we would have given you more of a game!
For perspective we have to remember that following the sacking of Big Mick, we were relegated to the Championship then again to League One the following year by that village idiot Saunders. That was 2013. Thankfully Kenny Jackett brought us straight back up before a period of stagnation set in under Steve Morgan and Moxey the antichrist before Fosun came along.
I don't think we will lose players over the sumer. We certainly don't need the money and Nuno is growing a very special club with players that love him, he manages egos superbly and we have no primadonnas. Players at all levels play the same system and are ready when needed and know what's expected of them. John Ruddy was a fine keeper as we got promotion but last season played understudy to Patricio, only playing the cup games, but not once did he throw his toys out of the pram.
Fosun are promising us an exciting summer where they will be looking to compete with the top clubs for players. It says it all that yesterday we were tenuously linked with Gareth Bale and whilst that is a pipe dream, nobody laughed which says it all.
Good luck guys, proper fans of a proper club and no plastics!
