Yepp thats another journo,s spin on the situation Mugger
Its "Old Hat" to be honest mate ...... the Manchester Evening News is always the first with "real news " regarding what is and what is not happening at Man City ! their cheif sports editor Peter Spencer is the envy of the tabloid footballing bullshit brigade.
Realistically 70 pts this season could be enough for 3rd place in the premiership ...... everyone is dropping points, no team is playing consistently well and things change very very quickly if you win 3 or 4 games on the bounce. Surely this season is the best premiership in a long long time ? no team walking away with it, both Man Utd and Liverpool (American Owners) both are massively in debt and are in decline, Arsenals wafer thin squad has huge injury problems, Totenham are hit and miss and imo will fall away, Villa are one dimensional and have been very lucky lately but are difficult to beat for sure...... then there is Man City .....
Gary Cook has took loads of stick for over 12 months off City fans ..... we aint daft up here (lol) Mancunians do like to be heard and rightly or wrongly do just that ! Possibly that is the reason why the press conference went t!ts up ?
In the cold light of day under Mark Hughes City have fell short and our defence is a total shambles , that is down to Hughes and his tactics ...... too many points were / are being dropped. Mark Hughes and his staff did a good job, yes he has been treated very badly but so have plenty of other managers across the world (Scolari at Chelsea) ...... life goes on and Manchester City FC is bigger than any single person, Hughes won the first 4 games of the season which saved his job then, we all thought and were led to believe Guus Hiddink was in line to take over. Khaldoun and his Abu Dhabi royal family mean buisness good and proper and want M.C.F.C to be one of the biggest clubs in the world, never mind England, yepp Cook is another Kenyon and he will live or die by his actions.
Roberto Mancini ....... time will tell and 3 points on boxing day will be a good start
