it was all a bit weird. i thought cookes statement was very good and cleared up a lot. he was also right to suggest the press were looking for trouble and was entitled to tell them so. i thought the press were mainly disgusting and simply confirmed that they want city to fail and will do all they can to heap shit on us. they've been doing it for a while. fuck em. wwe are city and we must rally together right now. us against anyone, let's ave it!
i have no opinion on mancini, if he gets the team to play for him and we can get the defence better than the u-11's side that it is, fine. i fancy he might be able to get the flair players playing and he will be able to attract some decent new arrivals; chiellini would be top of my list. i also think it is not out of the question that city go bananas in the window and bring in 6 top players. they will give mancini unlimited funds, no question.
as for this hughes thing, well, he had 18 months and a quarter of a billion. unreal. and the side are not too good, terrible defensively, awful tactics and mystifying changes. hughes going was a cert and it is totally right to point out that the trajectory was indeed not good enough.
frankly, the owners have spend daft amounts and are entitled to bring in whoever they choose. hughes going is a sound move. the spurs game told anyone watching what the manager was all about.
After the ball was centred, after the whistle blew...
