      Amazing to see the growth from Everton! Wow!! The way John embraced the challenge that Pep asked, is what makes it even more mind blowing, especially at this level. You can’t deny the intelligence involved in such a change💫🔥. Johnny boy, you’re a legend!!! I’m a man Utd supported by the way…

      A CB/DM/CM.
      Comfortable on all three.
      Love him and appreciate him.
      He knows how much he's loved at City.
      And shoutout to The greatest coach/manager of all time.
      Pep Guardiola.
      All this is him.

      Well what a player John Stones is. In truth he's grown and grown while at City. I'm always so pleased for any player that keeps on learning and growing. For me that shows the quality of a person and player of the game of football.
      Beating negativity is one of the mountains to climb in any walk of life. John for me has his flag up there on the summit yet he is still climbing. As our a lot of our players under the systems our Club as a whole and Pep have introduced.
      And Pep what can a mere mortal say about our Pep. Such a humble guy, always full of passion for the game and willing to make people and things better. Yes, he clearly pursues perfection and he has to be called relentless in his pursuit of his goal. And then he has a sense of humour, and Manc humour come to that.
      For me Pep has been one of the finest educators of the game. I'm just a simple fan, but he has taught me so so much with his pictures and patterns and designs on the pitch, and they have to be called designs, original designs really. It's football under constant evolution, constantly morphing into something slightly different and impossible to pin down for opponents.
      Genius I don't know, I'll never be one, but the cap fit on Pep for me.
      I think this is why we are seeing the changes squad staff this season. Yes, players move because that's important to them, but at City the design is to adapt, try new more advanced ways and method. The design is always trying to grow and move forward. The genius of the club is that it is constantly trying to evolve.
      And finally lets not forget that without our wonderful owner's none of this would have manifest.
      Thank you to them for where we are today as a club. As a fan I really do feel that here on earth our club is as close as it can be to football heaven.
      Thanks guys.

      There's something that other team supporters don't give us. They either say, "All City supporters are young lads." "City supporters don't know football." "You don't know the history of football."

      Honestly, I think that is where their problem lies. Like a company, we grow. Like team, we play. Like a family, we grow! That really is what I've received from City, honestly. I love this club. And if I could meet or be there or 90 minutes in Manchester for a home game, at the Etihad, I would. Without a doubt. Let's get more W's
