00:02We beat up, guys.
00:08When I arrived, my first interview was with Noel Gallagher.
00:13Welcome to Manchester.
00:14Thank you so much.
00:15I woke out thinking, OK, Noel is here, this will be fun.
00:20And what a time we have had together.
00:24Don't ask me the reasons I'm leaving.
00:26There is no reason.
00:28But deep inside, I know it's my time.
00:31Nothing is eternal.
00:33If it was, it would be here.
00:37Eternal will be the feeling, the people, the memories,
00:41the love I have for my Manchester City.
00:49This is a city that is built from work, from graft.
00:53You see it in the colour of the bricks,
00:55from people who clock in early and stay late.
00:59The factories, the pancartes, the unions, the music.
01:04Simply the industrial revolution and how this changed the world.
01:10And I think I grew to understand that, and my teams did too.
01:16We work, we suffer, we fought, and we did things our own way.
01:23Our way.
01:25Hard work comes in many forms.
01:29Trips to Bournemouth, when we lost the Premier League, and you were there.
01:34And trips to Istanbul, when you were there too.
01:45Remember the Manchester Arena attack.
01:48When this city showed the world what the strength actually looks like.
01:53Not anger, not fear, just love.
01:57Community, togetherness, a city united.
02:02Remember losing my mum during Covid, and feeling this club carry me through it.
02:09The fans, the staff, the people of Manchester.
02:13You gave me the strength when I needed most.
02:17Chris, my kids, my old family.
02:21You were there, as always.
02:24Haldun, you were there too.
02:28Players, don't forget.
02:30Every single instant, every single moment.
02:33Me, my staff, this club, everything.
02:37What we have done, we have done it for all of you.
02:41And you have been just exceptional.
02:46You don't know it yet, but you are living a legacy.
02:52So as many times comes to an end, be happy.
02:56OSCs are back again.
02:59So, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for trusting me.
03:04Thank you for pushing me.
03:06Thank you for loving me.
03:09Tony Walsh said in his unforgettable poem,
03:13This is the place.
03:15I'm sorry, Tony.
03:16This is my place.
03:19Noel, I was right.
03:21It has been so fucking fun.
03:24Love you all.
