What I'd like to know is what has changed in the minds of some of the media? I was expecting a serious back-lash after losing to Sunderland, and even the Robinho deal has not been thrown back in our face. I do wonder whether it's the guys at the top having a quiet word or if after the recent signings, they realise that we are not going to take second best and really are aiming for the stars?
I've not heard anything about our owners dumping us, lately; have you?

I felt there were signs of a different attitude during the summer albeit very patchy but I do think the Liverpool game made a huge impact. Not just the result but the manner of the result. We looked a top class outfit and we are still in the 'settling in phase'. Sunderland didn't change that because 9 times out of 10 we would have won or come away with something from the game. Picking Hart over Given and playing 6 English players doesn't hurt us either.
Some like Paul Hayward are giving us stick with the waste and folly of Robbie and belittling the infrastructure changes and expenditure as City rushing out stats to camouflage the fact the owners no nothing about football etc etc. Except that Robbie was not about football. Signing Robbie was largely symbolic and designed to create a publicity splash and serve notice that there was a new player in town. Getting Robbie off the books and getting cash for him was an excellent bit of work to go alongside the excellent work done on transfers this summer. Its a shame Robbie didn't work out but he served his initial purpose. I do think that the 'City make profit on Robbie' line that SSN seemed to be peddling was a serious stretch. Still it was nice having the media suck us off for a bit.

I do hope we've said to Milan, "don't worry about paying anything this year, lets load the payments over the next 3-4 yrs". That way we get a nice return to offset our expenditure for Platini's madcap regulations.......that's assuming we paid for Robby in full?
