In this deep dive into the rise of Manchester City, Sally Nugent, Faisal Islam and Simon Stone discuss what has happened to Manchester City Football Club over the past 20 years as they rose from the "Theatre of Comedy" to Premier League domination.
With Dennis Tueart, club legend (player and board member).
Plenty of eyebrows were raised in 2001 when former England manager Kevin Keegan was named the new boss of Manchester City.
Super Kev brought instant success to the club, winning a league title in his first season and also establishing City in the Premier League.
High-profile, expensive signings including Nicholas Anelka, Robbie Fowler and Peter Schmeichel were brought in leading to tension in the boardroom over the amount of money being spent.
Dennis Tueart was a legend on the field for City during the 70s and was on the board during the Keegan years. He chats about what went on behind the scenes during these years and how he was dismissed by the club on email.
