That guy clearly hasnt ever played in a football team... What I am trying to say, ManCity is a team like he said (players, money, patience, infrastructure, etc) and look how stupid they look on the field because of their brilliant manager. Everyone has its value, managers included. I do agree we should stop making them the reason of success, but they are very important indeed. P.S: I know who he is, respect the man and I agree with most of his articles in The Observer, but there are some apsects of the game that only who played it understand.
