1) Rumours of takeovers just as transfer windows opens then the transfer rumour is quashed just after the transfer window closes.
2) He makes these "you really should love me" statements when fans are on an up so that the more gullible will believe him. Doing this the day before the Man City match when fans are excited is typical.
3) Announcing that a player has been offered a new contract when fans are disappointed. So maybe after a defeat or criticism of him for lack of spending. He did this with Palmer & Lavery last season.
You have to admire him for knowing how to use the media but I am amazed how fans keep falling for it.
We don't have a choice though madsteve! his PR officer should be paid a packet though!
End of the day if it were not for MM we may not even be discussing this issue or be on this Forum!
Not knocking MM but I am amazed at how many fans fall for all his rubbish.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
