Very cynical. Was actually nothing said to a fan or media but have it your way if you're too pessimistic to believe he actually loves the City and club a lot..
It was meant to be cynical, coaches and managers are totally indifferent to the club that employs them, what exactly does he love about the club, what is the tangible part that he purports to love ??
He aint stupid, he heard and read the indifference from sections of the support and he is enjoying a resurgence in his popularity and he will like that
To fawn over a coaches love of his club is a bit like a player kissing their badge, meaningless .........
