Manchester City have on the whole been very good with their supporters since the pandemic started .
As well as conscious decisions from the club not to furlough any staff and to provide thoughtful help to the health and care workers in the middle of the pandemic and the wider community that they serve , there has been dialogue with fans over a difficult time .
From staff ringing vulnerable supporters during lockdown to check on their wellbeing , to engaging meetings with groups over how best to handle the issue of fans returning to the Etihad , to media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the most challenging transfer windows in many a year , two-way communication has been regular .
As COO Omar Berrada said about his reason for discussing the club 's transfer business when so few top clubs are so open about it : `` It 's important for our fans to hear from us directly and in terms of the dedication of everybody that is working for this club - from our shareholders , the board , our execs , our staff - we 're working really hard and putting all of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
In the wake of the Project Big Picture plans first revealed by the Telegraph , that transparency with supporters needs to continue .
City were n't described as one of the two clubs leading the reform idea but would count as one of the teams with more power and their CEO gave an interview days before it came out suggesting another way that the biggest clubs could trade financial help for the rest of the English football pyramid while increasing their influence .
The details concerning the Blues and the deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the MEN , and it is worth hammering home the message at a time when supporting a team has never felt so remote for so many that the club must have fans on side for this .
However firmly City are for the Big Picture plans , it would be wise for them to consult the supporters for their diverse thoughts - be it through focus groups or surveys - and if necessary explain the club position on why they are acting as they are .
There will be a vote soon , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to their embarrassment recently - it does n't look good to talk up your opposition to controversial plans when it then turns out you were n't against it when it mattered .
Having been excellent at communicating with their fans on so many issues through an exceptionally difficult time for so many , the Blues should make sure their own supporters and community are clearly informed about a decision that could change English football more permanently than a pandemic ever could .

England has now entered another national lockdown.
It's the third time national measures have been imposed by Boris Johnson in 10 months.
This means that the whole of Greater Manchester and all 10 boroughs, including Bolton, must follow the same set of coronavirus controls as the rest of the country.
It comes after an alarming rise in cases due to the superspreading variant.
On December 31, Greater Manchester was previously placed into Tier 4 of England's four-tier lockdown system set out by the government.
Now, residents must stay at home and only leave the house under certain exceptions.
Schools have been closed, as have non-essential businesses.
Failure to comply with the lockdown rules could result in fines of up to £10,000.
What are the latest lockdown rules in Bolton?
The main points are:
You must not leave or be outside of your home except where you have a ‘reasonable excuse’ which will be implemented into law.
You should minimise time spent outside your home. It is against the law to meet socially with family or friends unless they are part of your household or support bubble.
You can only leave your home to exercise, and not for the purpose of recreation or leisure, such as a picnic. This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
You can exercise in a public outdoor place with one person from another household but you must stay 2m apart.
There are still circumstances in which you are allowed to meet others from outside your household, childcare or support bubble in larger groups, but this should not be for socialising and only for permitted purposes.
If you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live – and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall.
You can only travel internationally – or within the UK – where you first have a legally permitted reason to leave home.
You cannot leave your home or the place where you are living for holidays or overnight stays unless you have a reasonable excuse for doing so.
Shielding has also been reintroduced. People who are clinically vulnerable and who were previously told to shield should stay at home and only leave for medical appointments and exercise.
Funerals can be attended by a maximum of 30 people. Linked religious, belief-based or commemorative events, such as stone settings and ash scatterings can also continue with up to six people in attendance.
Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies must only take place with up to six people but should only take place in exceptional circumstances.
A number of businesses must close: non-essential retail, hospitality venues, accommodation, leisure and sports facilities, entertainment venues, animal attractions, indoor attractions, personal care facilities, community centres and halls, outdoor sports venues. There are exceptions to these.
Essential businesses can remain open, along with essential public services such as dentists.

England has now entered another national lockdown.
It's the third time national measures have been imposed by Boris Johnson in 10 months.
This means that the whole of Greater Manchester and all 10 boroughs, including Tameside, must follow the same set of coronavirus controls as the rest of the country.
It comes after an alarming rise in cases due to the superspreading variant.
On December 31, Greater Manchester was previously placed into Tier 4 of England's four-tier lockdown system set out by the government.
Now, residents must stay at home and only leave the house under certain exceptions.
Schools have been closed, as have non-essential businesses.
Failure to comply with the lockdown rules could result in fines of up to £10,000.
What are the latest lockdown rules in Tameside?
The main points are:
You must not leave or be outside of your home except where you have a ‘reasonable excuse’ which will be implemented into law.
You should minimise time spent outside your home. It is against the law to meet socially with family or friends unless they are part of your household or support bubble.
You can only leave your home to exercise, and not for the purpose of recreation or leisure, such as a picnic. This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
You can exercise in a public outdoor place with one person from another household but you must stay 2m apart.
There are still circumstances in which you are allowed to meet others from outside your household, childcare or support bubble in larger groups, but this should not be for socialising and only for permitted purposes.
If you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live – and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall.
You can only travel internationally – or within the UK – where you first have a legally permitted reason to leave home.
You cannot leave your home or the place where you are living for holidays or overnight stays unless you have a reasonable excuse for doing so.
Shielding has also been reintroduced. People who are clinically vulnerable and who were previously told to shield should stay at home and only leave for medical appointments and exercise.
Funerals can be attended by a maximum of 30 people. Linked religious, belief-based or commemorative events, such as stone settings and ash scatterings can also continue with up to six people in attendance.
Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies must only take place with up to six people but should only take place in exceptional circumstances.
A number of businesses must close: non-essential retail, hospitality venues, accommodation, leisure and sports facilities, entertainment venues, animal attractions, indoor attractions, personal care facilities, community centres and halls, outdoor sports venues. There are exceptions to these.
Essential businesses can remain open, along with essential public services such as dentists.
For more information on the rules, you can head to the government website here.

Kevin De Bruyne has returned to Manchester City after being substituted in Belgium's defeat by England as a precaution, handing the Blues a new injury concern.
De Bruyne was in fine form for his country at Wembley, as Belgium dominated much of the first half in the Nations League clash, despite England keeping the score at 1-1 at half time.
Now, though, Belgium have released him from their squad after confirming he wouldn't be fit to face Iceland this week. He will return to City hoping to be available for the Premier League clash with Arsenal at the weekend.
Martinez had revealed after the game that De Bruyne was taken off as a precaution as he was not feeling right, suggesting the player will be assessed to discover the full extent of any problem.
"I would not say that Kevin is injured. He said he felt something. It is too early to know what he has, but he did not feel a hundred percent. It was rather a precautionary change," Martinez said.

Roy Keane singled out Marcus Rashford for criticism after England's 2-1 victory over Belgium on Sunday night.
Despite Rashford's goal and a fairly solid performance by the England defence which included Harry Maguire, Keane had some harsh words for both Manchester United players after the game, particularly Rashford.
The former United captain questioned Rashford's body language in the first half, believing he could have done more as Belgium dominated the early stages of the game, before England's comeback.
"Rashford in the first-half was going through the motions," Keane said on ITV. "‘I just want to make a point, Rashford, his body language in the first half, he needs to do better.
"And then he started doing what he should be doing, running at people, getting forward, doing things quickly. Gareth Southgate should have said something at half-time, cut out this nonsense, kind of standing on the ball."
England have one more Nations League clash on Wednesday against Denmark before United's players return to Carrington.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-13--Man City evening headlines as Aguero opens up on Messi friendship

Here are your evening headlines for Tuesday , October 13 .
Jules Kounde says joining Manchester City would have been a “ good opportunity ” after the Premier League club showed interest in the Sevilla centre-back during the summer .
City made the capture of a new defender to play alongside Aymeric Laporte a priority for the transfer window , ultimately signing Ruben Dias from Benfica as well as Nathan Ake from Bournemouth .
Kounde was a target for City prior to signing Dias and the Frenchman has expressed his thoughts on their interest .
“ It 's part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it takes to make it happen , ” the 21-year-old told while on international duty with France ’ s Under-21s .
“ I was obviously happy [ with City 's interest ] .
It would have been a good opportunity , but I 'm in Seville and I 'm very happy there.
” Aguero opens up on friendship with Messi Sergio Aguero has lifted the lid on his friendship with Lionel Messi , revealing how the Barcelona forward gets annoyed with the Manchester City striker while on international duty .
Messi was strongly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stadium in the summer , but remained at the Camp Nou .
A switch to City would have seen him link up with Aguero , who he knows well from playing for Argentina for so many years together .
“ I always fall asleep with the TV on and the next morning he 's always complaining , ” , explaining what it ’ s like to be Messi ’ s international roommate .
“ For example , we get back to the hotel at 19.30 and we 're eating at 21.00 .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the shower straight away and ready .
I 'm there in my boxers and talking on my phone ... “ Time passes and with half an hour to go , he starts : 'We 're eating a 21.00 , in 30 minutes ... ' I 'm still there on my phone and he 's going : '10 minutes to go .
We always arrive late .
We 've been here for an hour… ’ '' And then I get ready .
The bad vibes start and he does n't like arriving late.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ message to Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland after the Norwegian striker took on Phil Foden at FIFA 21 .

Sevilla defender breaks silence on City interest
Jules Kounde says joining Manchester City would have been a “good opportunity” after the Premier League club showed interest in the Sevilla centre-back during the summer.
City made the capture of a new defender to play alongside Aymeric Laporte a priority for the transfer window, ultimately signing Ruben Dias from Benfica as well as Nathan Ake from Bournemouth.
Kounde was a target for City prior to signing Dias and the Frenchman has expressed his thoughts on their interest.
“It's part of my progression and I'm doing whatever it takes to make it happen,” the 21-year-old told Canal Plus while on international duty with France’s Under-21s.
“I was obviously happy [with City's interest]. It would have been a good opportunity, but I'm in Seville and I'm very happy there.”

Aguero opens up on friendship with Messi
Sergio Aguero has lifted the lid on his friendship with Lionel Messi, revealing how the Barcelona forward gets annoyed with the Manchester City striker while on international duty.
Messi was strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium in the summer, but remained at the Camp Nou. A switch to City would have seen him link up with Aguero, who he knows well from playing for Argentina for so many years together.
“I always fall asleep with the TV on and the next morning he's always complaining,” Aguero said , explaining what it’s like to be Messi’s international roommate.
“For example, we get back to the hotel at 19.30 and we're eating at 21.00. There's time. But Leo's in the shower straight away and ready. I'm there in my boxers and talking on my phone...
“Time passes and with half an hour to go, he starts: 'We're eating a 21.00, in 30 minutes...' I'm still there on my phone and he's going: '10 minutes to go. We always arrive late. We've been here for an hour…’
"And then I get ready. The bad vibes start and he doesn't like arriving late.”

Manchester City supporters have sent a transfer message to Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland after the Norwegian striker took on Phil Foden at FIFA 21.
Haaland and Foden were taking part in a promotion video for the release of the new game and City fans couldn’t stop themselves from wondering how the two players might link up for the club in the future.
The 20-year-old’s father, Alf-Inge Haaland, played for Manchester City and pictures of the striker wearing the shirt of the Etihad Stadium club have previously circulated around social media.
It didn’t take long for fans to start labelling Foden ‘Agent Phil,’ implying the midfielder could play a role in luring Haaland, who has scored four goals in three Bundesliga games for Borussia Dortmund this season, to City.
