Just to make sure - does this mean our group will consist of the winners of these pairs?
No. The teams losing in CL play-off will also come into the draw, and there will be 12 groups of 4 teams. The 48 teams will be placed in 4 pots based on their coefficient. We could be in the 2nd or 3rd pot, and we will not be drawn against another English team or a team from the same pot.
Roberto Mancini was the man who brought us our first trophy in 35 years. He was the man that brought us our first league title in 44 years. He brought us one of the greatest moments of our lives. He masterminded a 6-1 win at Old Trafford, and a Wembley win over United. He challenged Ferguson, he argued with him on the touchline, he brought success, and he punched the air in delight with the rest of us at the madness of it all. He had style, panache and a winning smile.All those memories he gave us will never be forgotten, in a wonderful period in this club’s long history.
And I swear, we’ll never see anything like it again.
