What's wrong at Man City?

[10ClarionSt]

The trouble for anyone playing for Man City is that they are in the shadow of a Super Club. That is a fact. The players they sign must look across and see Man Utd and wish they were there. Maybe not local players. But all the foreigners they bring in, know they will be in the shadow of Man Utd and all the glamour that goes with them. That must be a bit deflating just knowing that. And the fact that Utd are a successful, glamourous Super Club is why so many people don't like them, but every one, EVERY ONE of Citys' players would sign for Utd if they had the chance.
So it isn't money. It isn't the manager. It isn't the players.
It's Man Utd. That's what's wrong with City. They can't live with it.

I was at Old Trafford in 1986 with some of my friends who are united supporters. We were there for the derby game and had lunch with sir alec who had just taken over. He was nearly sacked that year and it took him a few years to get things right. I think it will take a few years to get city right but now they are the richest club in the world and can buy 10 united teams there is no reason why they cannot be top dogs in manchester shortly. After all you lot have been buying the league for years so why shouldnt we

Couldn't you say the same about Liverpool & Everton, Arsenal & Spurs etc

City will never knock Und off top spot , but dont think that City ,if they do have millions to spend, wont attract top players, because 140 grand a week will get most players on board. never mind if Man Und are just down the road.

Keep us out of this squabble, LOL.
Money talks for now, players will go for the dough until they get established as a tea, challenging for honours.
Your analogies don't work City are more like Chelsea now.
Where were all their fans when they were sh1t?
I read a letter on 414 off a supossed Chelsea fan of 25 years saying this was the worst Chelsea team he'd ever seen.....
What!?
Doug Rougvie poor?
Rome was'nt built in a day, Ferguson took his time to build Man U, they have to learn to be patient.
