Why are people on here getting very PEP disrespectful?? I have been going to CITY since 1964 and I will never understand two things in life 1. Is woman 2. Is City fans , yes we have been through more bad than good in my lifetime. But the slow climb back to the top has taken some time considerable effort oh yes and money, Francis Lee started it although he pit club right but forgot about what went on on the pitch, he should never of sacked Brian Horton, and even then we had some downs !! 1999 was the what you would call the modern start to the City we now know. Even Shinawatra played his part and now we have a guy that is a winner!! He has one failing , he is always looking to better things and therefore tinkers, very much like the sport he plays (golf). Players get to the top then start to tinker to get better sadly it works very often the other way, that is somewhat Pep's Achilles heel he needs a strong No 2 to stand up and tell him when he is wrong! Kolo Toure or even Yaya if he retired could do this. Vincent would have been great but he has gone straight into the top job.
"Guardiola, to put it another way, has outlasted the previous 19 City managers. Or 23, if caretaker managers are included. And if he stays until the end of March, he will overtake Book, too. Nobody will have managed the club longer since Joe Mercer, from 1965 to 1971. And, hold on a moment, wasn’t it said of Guardiola that he rarely stuck around?"
For Gods sake lets not start going backwards here fellas, we still have one hell of a team that can get a hell of a lot better!!! CTID
