Very interesting reading especially as the " closed shop" of elite clubs in football is nothing new with them sneering at dirty new money over 130 years ago !! " The people's club " with Everton was first coined when David Moyes joined them from Preston as manager. It immediately endered him to the blue two thirds of Merseyside!! The same Moyes who Alex Ferguson wanted as his assistant before he left Preston as the glazers fan boy originally planned to retire around 2003 ,and wanted a successor already in situ .
Interesting, I didn't know the "people's club" phrase was that recent. I've been trying to get City to adopt "Ruining Football Since 1890" as the club motto, but with little success. And yeah, there's very little that's new in football, including tactics.
