Manchester City should be loudly applauded, not roundly condemned

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola during the UEFA Champions League, league stage match at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester. Martin Rickett/PA Wire. It’s been a difficult week for English football.

A shadow is hanging over the club I have poured my love into since 1969. I fell for Francis Lee, Mike Summerbee and Colin Bell. My friends were George Best and Mancunian red but I was never lured by automatic success and after years of being underdogs, City now bark the loudest.
