The thinking behind McKenna stepping down must be:
Wanted an established PL job and doesn’t want potentially 2 relegations on his CV
Or, something awful is happening in his personal life
@alexx_UTC@Benjwinst It’s completely redundant. Everton will be the only team to gain a sporting punishment without breaching with a sporting advantage
@Everton@bluekippercom It’s the culture of the club to always allude to how difficult a two year stint was. Nothing about putting those demons away. If you keep a losing mentality- guess what happens
Big well run clubs make decisive action at the right times when things trend against them. Everton are the worst run club in the league and it will reflect when we scramble for another manager after Moyes throws the towel in again
@deebrassmonkey Very lucky our season finished when it did. We weren’t going to pick up another point. As proved by losing to both teams involved in the late relegation battle
Khaldoon Al Mubarak on #ManCity: “We're far from peaked. This is a Club designed, built to win. We're used to [being successful], because it’s in our DNA. I look at where the Club was in 2008, then at every part of these last 18 years.
“Roberto Mancini brought that first Premier League title, we'll never forget those moments. A great period, [after] a first FA Cup win in many, many years. Then Manuel [Pellegrini] came, [the] same, another Premier League title and more success.
“Then Pep [Guardiola] came in, and it was getting that mindset, DNA of a winning club. Now, this Club is the way we all know it now. What Pep has given us has taken us to the next level, and I think we’re so thankful for what he’s helped build.
"Winning is hard, it’s not easy, a lot of hard work by a collective. Look over these 18 years how many different generations of teams we've collectively put together, each one special. From that first group of the [Sergio] Agueros, Yaya Toures, the [David] Silvas, the next group of Kevin De Bruynes, Ilkay Gundogans, Bernardos [Silva], to this group of Erling Haalands, [Rayan] Cherkis, [Phil] Fodens, [Abdukodir] Khusanovs.
“We continue and, in every aspect, it’s different because it’s different players but the success will come because I think we do a very good job in maintaining a winning mindset. Hence, when you look at our records in English football over these last 18 years, @ManCity is the most successful Club in this country. I think top down, [from] Sheikh Mansour, myself, Ferran [Soriano], the whole organisation, we have a team. A winning team.
“That team will continue, there will be players, coaches, executives, that’s part of life, but we will keep going and we will continue to deliver..." [via @ManCity]
