Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak was delighted with the feedback he had on his players in their final matches
Khaldoon Al Mubarak is proud of the way Manchester City handled victory and defeat in the final weeks of the season after being contacted by competition bosses.
Brittain spoke to Al Mubarak after the trophy presentation to tell him he had to be proud of the way they had conducted themselves during the trophy lift. The City chairman then received similar praise from the FA chair Debbie Hewitt after City had formed a guard of honour following their FA Cup final defeat to United.
"She came back afterwards, and we had a conversation and she told me something that I think echoed very much in my heart. She said, ‘You know, you have to be very proud. I encountered something that was quite unique giving the trophy to the team. Every single member of the team, from coaching staff to players, looked me in the eye and said thank you with a smile and with respect and it’s quite remarkable. Normally in these things players are in a rush or are too busy’.
“The way the players, the coaches, every member of Manchester City, from board members to management, the way we behaved, she said was a great reflection of how this team is in terms of respect, humbleness and just the attitude. I think this is something that I am very, very proud of. It’s winning, it’s about winning of course, but it’s also about how you behave when you win, and how you behave when you lose.
