He was asked the question and he answered it. It's not as if he rang up Sky personally.No comment was all he had to say. He spent 10 years there, making close to 300 appearances. He has every right to say positive things about the club.I fucking hate City, but it's perfectly reasonable and acceptable that Micah has good things to say.
Show me another decent sized Club where that is allowed to happen. It'd never happen at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', Spurzz or even the Barcodes for instance. They wouldn't stand for it.
Fabien Delph has revealed Micah Richards helped change his mind over Manchester CityFabian Delph says Micah Richards played a key role in his City U-turn Fabian Delph has revealed that conversations with former Manchester City defender Micah Richards influenced him to change his mind about moving to the club. Delph signed a five-year contract with City on Friday, less than a week after rejecting the transfer and committing his future to Aston Villa through a strongly-worded statement.It has now emerged that new Villa signing Richards, who had denied persuading Delph to snub City earlier this week, was influential in the U-turn. “Micah Richards told me that as far as he is concerned, this is the best club in the world and he had the time of his life here," Delph said in an interview on City’s official website.City triggered the £8m release clause in Delph’s Villa contract last week, but the midfielder released a statement in which he insisted: “I'm not leaving."I'm staying at the football club and I can't wait for the start of the Premier League season."Richards then took to social media to deny suggestions he had encouraged Delph to stay at the Midlands club, saying on Twitter: "If people actually think I had an influence on Delph not going to City you’re wrong! And I have nothing but great things to say about City!"
This is the way Sky Sports are reporting it:http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/9916884/fabien-delph-has-revealed-micah-richards-helped-change-his-mind-over-manchester-cityQuoteFabien Delph has revealed Micah Richards helped change his mind over Manchester CityFabian Delph says Micah Richards played a key role in his City U-turn Fabian Delph has revealed that conversations with former Manchester City defender Micah Richards influenced him to change his mind about moving to the club.

So far he seems to care more about staying in City fan's good graces than he does about playing in the strongest possible Villa team.
