Micah Richards on Man City’s hilarious fines system, Vincent Kompany and Mario Balotelli

[@nc3869]

This is why Kompany was a legendary captain, that's what it takes. A real leader isn't interested in being liked or making mates, he is interested in winning.

[@spacejazz6272]

maybe but it also helps to be liked as a leader, especially in terms of keeping morale up. Kompany was liked by the other players though tbf

[@yeetwchybaban]

Nah

[@paparoachluver4eva]

All captains do it. Peter crouch talked about it in his podcast and he said at every single club (and England) the captain was responsible for the fines

I love listening to Micah Richards. I’m so glad he’s a pundit for the CL now

[@Bsweeney8t3]

Brilliant. I remember at one point Richards was probably a more talented prospect than Kompany, but this explains why one ended up a legend and one didnt. It probably explains why City havent been as good this season - lack of leadership amongst the players. It also probably explains the big problem at Man Utd atm, having no Kompany/Keane/Ferdinand/Rooney type player to instill discilpline to the players, who at the end of the day are just big indisciplined kids.

[@fuckoffyoucunt]

Yeah they have Maguire now as captain. That is how far Man U have gone down, when someone comes in and gets that position !!

[@alexalexalex797]

Micah Richards basically was too hyped up. Absolutely talented, but too much pressure, too young. Plus he mentioned how they overpaid him, which resulted in his kind of lack of discipline. Which ultimately was his detriment

[@SamSam-rz1ko]

I can empathise with Vincent Kompany not giving his colleagues a second chance with fines.. they are overpaid anyways and a couple thousand grand may not mean much to them, but means more to the ground staff and charity.. So yeah.. he had no reason to be lenient with the players. Great insight Micah, but maybe if you had stopped bantering around so much and actually upheld principles like Vincent did, maybe just maybe you'd have lived up to your potential..

This tells why Micah was sent to many clubs and lost his place to new comers. Looks like he is less mature to be a leader. I had a lot of expectation when he first broke in to the first team. Even scoring that last minute goal agains Villa in FA cup. He become England's right back, then he regressed after 2 decent seasons. I know injuries could be excuses but this tells his persona. He is kind of laid back lad. Still love him so much for his banter and honesty, but retiring at 31 for right back is very premature having watched the likes of Zanetti and Maldini played until thier 40's. I wish him all best for his future.

Who’s the other berk? “I don’t think I’d take kindly to being fined, I”m a grown man.” It’s the same as anything they get fined because they don’t act like grown men and break the rules. Then again if an ordinary person is late for work part of their money get’s stopped. It’s the same thing so I don’t know what planet he’s on. Though because they are astronomically paid the fines are meaningless to them. It’s like an ordinary person being fined 50p.

I wouldn't say he never made it, he played an integral part in Man City winning the league in 2012 and was capped for England. Listen to his podcast with Nedum Onuaha and you'll hear about how he got knee injuries early in his career (aged 20/21) and played through the pain despite doctors telling him he was causing irreversible damage to himself. This caught up with him hence why he retired early, but to say he never made it is unfair.
