A few days ago, a guy who must be in his 50s turned to face the directors’ box when time was called on Manchester City’s draw with Chelsea. He used words to the effect of ‘sort it out’. Over and over again.
City were 15 unbeaten in all competitions at that point, 16 now after victory over Brentford, and still very much in their latest title race. There is general unease at performances among the fanbase but it seemed striking that any ire would be projected towards those upstairs.
But this one supporter – and it was only one - felt it necessary and that presented an interesting scenario.
