But in essence, the manager is the most important guy at a club and to replace the best in the world who is a serial winner is gonna be a very difficult job

Sadly it's the way it is. And articles denigrating City will appeal to fans of our rivals. Again, the way it is
Have a good birthday by the way my friend

Totalling up our transfer fees worked out at €916.7 million, converting that to pounds sterling at todays rate the figure comes out at just under £800 million. Now I know these are massive figures but that's the cost of football in 2023, but why do the BBC feel the need to inflate the cost of our squad - in a news article - by 25%. I had a quick look at Luton's transfers while I was on and it is a bit harder to get the figures for these but several player's are on loan with a compulsory purchase included so the true figure of Luton's squad is nowhere near the £3 or £4 million quoted, the loan for Nakamba was €5 million and the purchase cost at the end is a further €4 million. It looks like our squad cost has been inflated by something in the region of 25% while Luton's has been estimated at a figure roughly 1/8th of it's cost. Is this just disingenious reporting or is there a hidden, or maybe very obvious, agenda being driven here.

Agenda.
You always hear:
- oil money spent
- Transfer fee's we pay that are actually inflated to fit the agenda
- And my personal favor: City can buy anyone, even if we proved in almost occasion that we don't go into bidding wars.

Whilst the Rags can't even get the urinals and the drains sorted out and all have to put up with Old Pisstones smell on their trousers and shoes. Our owner and the City Board are investing 300 million to improve a Council house they do not even own and pay a Kings ransom for( compared to the bubble blowers of old London town). Yet idiots in the media sometimes still worry about "in the Long Term - if they get bored ". These extra non-Football projects will bring big Dosh into City's Coffers. Concerts, events, small business activities. Great vision and Compliments to the owners and Board.
