I admit - I thought things had changed. 
I blame Benny - he seduced me with talk of how great Cook and the new owners were. /shrine |

How old are you? Seriously. Do you actually remember the Swales era? Swales fucked this club properly for many many years. Our new owners are not even close. They have given us so much money, met pretty much every promise. |

Swales had the best interests of the club at heart too. |

I'm 29 and can remember the latter years of his tenure. Most of my opinions are formed from my Dad's bitching about him over the years tbf. My point was merely that things are no worse with interfering from above than they have been at any other time in City's modern history. |

I'm quite sure Aguero got mentioned on TS about 5 minutes ago, but i wasn't really paying attention. |

Fair enough. I do think they are very different though. The Swales era was a very dark time. No money, the refusal to give any money, promises that he would leave if we failed to win anything and then the refusal to leave. Death threats, the lot. A million miles away from our new owners. I cannot believe the level of overreaction the last few days. |

It would be nice if things were significantly better though. The events of the last month have a ring of Mike Ashley's Newcastle about them - the appointment of a director of football with no experience and against the manager's wishes; the not-so-secret whoring around to other managers while the current one's still in place; the broken promises; the shifty, weasel eyed lying in front of the press.... |

I love Bellers and Shay but any kind of dissent from them that affects the next game and they will no longer be welcome in my view. I want players loyal to the club, not to one manager. If I can move on then they have no excuse. Totally agree. I learnt my lesson with Elano, supporting him and ignoring the rumours of descent. I don't have any time for that kind of shit now. |

Price you pay for having £200m to spend on players, rather than having to buy the likes of Corradi, Dabo, Bosvelt and various other 'ok' players who's best years are behind them I guess. Thing will settle down in time I'm sure. Hughes was always fighting an uphill battle once the new owners came in. |
