They've got four years of not being able to say anything bad about us because their mate was our manager to make up for.

That is one way of looking at it.In relation to the question raised by the topic, another view would be that the last manager made a serious attempt at stopping our best players being taken off our hands in the last 3 close seasons, but now all bets are off in that respect.
Yep we've sold our best player and now our much weaker as a result you can't really argue with that

The issue is us being called a "selling club", which has an entirely different connotation - think Wigan.
So we sell our best players... But were not a selling club?
I don't believe we are selling club at all, the fact that Man City made a ridiculous offer doesn't change that. Selling at a hugely over inflated price does not make a club a 'selling' club.
