If I was being paid £100k a week for anything, the last place you'd ever see me would be Manchester.

I think "There was a lack of contact between the players and the club. It was much like an office - to training and goodbye, to a match and goodbye" is a much more interesting quote. City won't be winning the league anytime soon if there isn't good team spirit. Very telling.
