Kinda wonder if City ever had any intention of buying him. I just can't see why they would, and find it hard to imagine pep would have wanted him at that age. It does unsettle and unbalance united though, which may mean yet another sacking that many united fans may think will fix everything, but may just mean another ten years of managerial merry-go-rounds and frustration.
I wonder if Ole even wanted him to be honest as he's such a colossal diva to bring into that dressing room when your authority is already so tenuous, to begin with.
