The thing about City is with each big name they sign, the pressure builds. All it takes is a bad run of form, and the turmoil begins. Players will piss and moan, Mancini will get sacked, they'll bring in the wrong guy, the owners will become bored, sell the team, the new owners will sell off their best talent, and the S.S. Man City will sink into oblivion. Matter of time.
All this was said about Chelsea as well
Exactly.
It's almost seven years later - they're still in existence AND they've won a heck of a lot more silverware than we have.
