Why would he want to go to Everton? They've done nothing for 30 years.

Surely players across the world don't rememberer them being a big team. They can't still have a pull on name alone and surely city can match them for wages and transfer fees.

Surely anything Everton offer him in wages for himself City can.

The delusion of grandeur that some fans have! Great they broke the monopoly of the 'Big 4', an achievement which cannot be underestimated, but really.........!!!!!

Of course they have failed to acknowledge that 'Director of Football' and 'Head Scout' are two completely different roles that will have completely different pay grades. Because of course they have

"Don't nothing for 30 years". This is a club that were playing in division 3 for years before. In the last 31 years we have won significantly more than they have, including Fa Cups, Leagues, and European Trophies.

In the last 20 years they've won 3 trophies to our 0 #justsayin

They wouldn't have won it without the key players he got them to sign.

So what about his body of work says mediocre? Be sure to point out only what was "all down to him".

So this guy is basically the guy who all Football Manager/FIFA scouting bells wish they were? Reckon he went into Leicester's chairman and said 'mate I signed this Mahrez on FIFA, within two seasons he had five star skillz and 90 finishing and we won the league'.

If he does that and it works then no complaints here.

Boss, thanks for clarifying

Absolutely. It'll be extra funny when we sign someone that nobody has heard of without breaking the bank to see all the fume that we haven't spent 40 million on someone random and then they turn out to be class.
