It's fathers day today and i've just been around to visit my old man, who is an ex City player. That's his picture on the left, taken from a matchday programme in the 50's.
I asked him if he saw the England game the other night and he said something like "I don't like watching the modern game, all that passing it backwards etc" . He says that a lot, especially after watching the city the last few seasons. Of course he's in the bar after the game with a few of the other old players and they talk about how the game was more exciting in their day when they played attacking football...

So i suggested, that.......
Instead of City appointing a new modern coach, that he and a few of the ex players from the 50's and 60's do the job, and see if we can get results playing "the old way" including......
