But the 100's of millions that City earned and being the top club in the country is a bit of comfort though isn't it?
Yes after 40 years of being the butt end of a joke banner at Stretford where they changed the number of years season after season since we won a major trophy and this condoned by Stretford officials by allowing that banner to remain season after season.
Since we were purchased the cartel of Sky top 4 plus the top clubs in Europe have done every thing they can think of to stop us, in clouding changing the goal posts, to ensure we were fined and a transfer ban introduced.
No I don’t take any comfort from it, I take immense joy from it, the difference between HRG Mansour and other rich owners is that they have come in reorganised restructured improved, involved the community, brought employment to a run down part of the City, built a 6 form college, have a big involvement in City in the community, increased a 60 million turnover into a 500 million turnover and have made the club sustainable in its own right.
Clubs we have purchased players from have come at a premium for average players, instead of an original 10 year programme the FFP forced the club to condense that 10 years into a much shorter period.
A noisy neighbour and not in my lifetime and I enjoy every title we can gain.
The thing is that if they had bought Notts County, I would have said the lucky bastards,(because I never thought anyone would buy us with the richest club in the world just situated outside the City limits,) but would FFP have been introduced?[/QUOTE]
Post of the year! well done
