Combine with this excellent interview with Noel Gallagher on TalkSPORT recently where he talks in depth about City (the bit starting at 1:35 in particular).

There are other videos in this interview. I’ll drop those links below 👇

    Something Noel mentioned several times: it’ll take 10 years.

    He was talking about getting to a place where you can take winning the Champion’s League seriously. A real contender, not just a fluky run. This is how long it took City to get there with SERIOUS football people running the club from top to bottom with a long-term vision.

    He mentioned the 10 years figure in regards to Newcastle and United, but it applies to Spurs too. Arsenal further in. Chelsea? 🤷‍♂️

        Yes, for sure, Poch was the real deal and Levy should not have sacked him. The Stadium has been a huge distraction (then Covid right after it opened), but I understand from a business perspective why it was needed. It could be seen as a masterstroke once the regulator comes in and FFP rules are actually upheld. The need for a sustainable and diverse income at clubs at the top is important.

        But for me Levy handled it all badly, including those 3 managers after Poch.
