麻豆约拍

With David Bernstein, ex-Man City Chairman.

In 2002, Manchester City left their beloved Maine Road for a glamorous new stadium which was the centrepiece for that year鈥檚 Commonwealth Games.The move was hailed as the start of a new era for a club trying to establish itself as a Premier League team. How much of a role has the stadium played in City鈥檚 rise to the top of football? And what role did it play in attracting Sheikh Mansoor to the club?

David Bernstein was the chairman of City during this time and explains how the move came about.

This episode is part of a series of podcasts, called: The Fall and Rise of Man City.
