Episode 1243: City’s Space, Performing Pep, Jose’s Prep, Pogba’s Attitude, Shane Duffy’s Rise
Ken spent much of the weekend watching the entire Man City documentary and we talk about his learnings. Which player comes out with his image transformed? How are Manchester City players taught to think about their mistakes? And what do we find out about Pep Guardiola’s style of management?
with man city and france both putting out behind-the-scenes documentaries on their recent success, the genre might have hit the same tipping point mobile phones went through around 1998, when they suddenly went from *embarrassing* to *must-have* https://t.co/M1ENubFcyH

We also look back at another documentary from 38 years ago about a very different Manchester City.
We talk to John Brewin and Daniel Harris about Manchester United’s defeat at Brighton. What went wrong for United on the field, and what is currently going on in Ed Woodward’s brain?
The mess has been created by Rock of Gibraltar and the Glazers. Fergie’s genius masked that for a bit, but he left a team that only he could make champions. https://t.co/nxs6sk3vUA
