Half-Term Report: Manchester City
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Kevin Keegan has not resigned yet, but nor has he begun to fulfil his claim that Manchester City could finish in the top six on their return to the Premiership. They have, however, made a better fist of top-flight football than under Joe Royle, the last Manchester derby at Maine Road was emphatically won while the investment in Nicolas Anelka and Marc-Vivien Foé appears to have paid off handsomely. Richard Dunne's return from a drink-induced exile propped up a defence which has never really convinced. Keegan claims to have a further £8m to spend when the transfer window opens, but City are already badly in debt and are more reliant on foreign players than any club apart from Fulham. However, should they enter the City of Manchester Stadium with Premiership football, Keegan might have the platform he needs to recreate his success with Newcastle.
