I don't think Neville said that though.
Neville said something along the lines of the manager normally gets the transfers correct with the exception of a few.
Personally, I don't think Tevez was worth the money at the time. They'd already paid him in the region of 10 million and another 10-15 million to loan him for the two seasons.
They then wanted in the region of 25-30 million IIRC. Then Tevez wanted a 4/5 year deal on another 5 million a season.
You were looking at around 70 million to tie Tevez up for the full duration. I thought Fergie was right at the time as he'd had a good amount out of him.
That's to say that it was even Fergie's decision. He spent 30 mil + wages on Berbatov in the Jan window IIRC and was probably made to choose at that time.

Can we have an end to tabloid headline style threads about Man U, Man City and other petty premiership matters please?
Can we at least move them to another board?

at least the OP put the tag NHC against the title of his thread, unlike several others on the main board

Most of it is red top trivia and of little consequence to me, Hibs or Scottish fitba.

Thanks.

Tevez is being a bit naughty, but lets face it, Manure and Ferguson have been playing this game themselves, and not just about City, for ages. Taste of own medicine, methinks!
A bit of needle around a derby always adds a bit of spice on the day, after all.

I think there are a lot of people obsessed with the EPL, (it's hard not to as we're subjected to constant propaganda about it that would Goebels blush) while others couldn't care less.
I go through phases where I'm positively hostile, to marginally interested.
I'd like to see a separate board for it myself.

This is the sort of comment that would have Keane et al going out in the next game making sure that Tevez wouldnt be playing for too much more of that season!
Its unfortunate United dont have any players like that anymore!

Fair play to Tevez I say, didnt react to the comments from Neville until the perfect opportunity presented itself to shut him up

I like this sort of stuff between two rival teams.
Gary Neville is Manchester Utd through and through and will always try to wind up the fans and players of their biggest rivals, namely Liverpool and Manchester City.
For Carlos Tevez, scoring two goals the other night was the perfect way to respond to Neville's alleged comments and for Neville, I think most people would probably understand why he did what he did when Tevez went up to him after he had scored one of his goals.
I really don't think there should be any kind of investigation of Gary Neville by the FA or anything like that. It was done in the heat of the moment and it's past now, according to Mancini and Ferguson.
I just hope it's Tevez who is laughing on the other side of his face come next Wednesday night.

People should lighten up, it's not like there is a great deal to discuss about Hibs at the moment.

Tevez let the football do the talking so fair play to him. But when he has as many honours as Gary Neville he can carry on talking.
Instead he's a greedy little so so & the way his advisers are set up he should of been sent packing ages ago
As for Roy Keane, he admitted he went out to injure Alf Haaland, but isn't this after Keane went down with his cruciate & Haaland laughed? Doesn't make it right, but i bet you a tenner no one laughed at Keane again
Keane is like marmite, i personally think he was a fantastic player & would be EASILY one of the first names on the team sheet imo

Even some of the more pedestrian fare in the EPL trumps the mediocre and mundane football on show Scotland (excluding Hibs obviously).

If your not interested in something you don't have to read it or comment on it.

On a slightly related issue, would any other non-Man City fans like to knock the smile off of Garry Cook's (Man City CEO) face?
Just seen a bit of footage of him on SSN earlier addressing some fans (apparently in New York) and the things that he was saying sounded very similar to things that we heard from a certain Russian from the West side of Edinburgh about four years ago, i.e. Manchester City will become the biggest and best football club in the world, speaking about "not if, when we're at Wembley..." and then getting a loud applause when he spoke about "beating Man Utd YET AGAIN", as if them beating United is such a regular occurrence (I believe they've managed just six wins over United in the past 20 years in all competitions and have won at Old Trafford just once in the past 36 years). With that in mind, I would suggest to Mr Cook that he waits until after next Wednesday night's match has finished before he puts Wembley's postcode into his Satnav. He will, of course, require help on getting to Wembley, since Man City haven't been there, if you discount mickey mouse lower league play off finals, since 1976.
To say that he sounded arrogant beyond belief would probably be a massive understatement.
If you take those comments, along with the farcical press conference that he presided over when Mancini took charge a few weeks ago, it's pretty clear that Man City's new found wealth has obviously gone to his head.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of arrogance, as long as you can back it up by coming up with the results.
They have brought in some good players over the past year or so but they have won precisely nothing yet and until they start challenging, and beating, the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea on a regular basis then their words will be nothing more than hot air.
Footage here :asshole:

It would have been fine if it had been Ricky Hatton or Liam Gallagher who had said stuff like this on camera as you expect that kind of banter from fans but I think it's a bit unprofessional for a CEO to be making comments like that in public especially when, as I've already said, Man City have won nothing so far.
Not that it would ever happen but if we ever get some serious investment from a rich owner, I would be pretty embarrassed if Scott Lindsay was going around and saying things like that at supporters clubs.
