Shaun Wright-Phillips is convinced a new era is about to dawn at Manchester City.

Wright-Phillips told mcfc.co.uk: "On the day I came back we stayed in the UEFA Cup through a last-minute own goal against Midtjylland, then won a dramatic penalty shoot-out.

"That made me smile. I've been here that long that I'm used to that being the way with City.

"It was always like that when I was coming through the ranks. We always liked to do the things the hard way, but hopefully the boss is slowly but surely getting that out of us now and this is a club geared for sustained success."
