Imagine that in a parallel universe Paul Dickov hadn't scored 'that' goal and we'd struggled to get out of that division and it was only now that we'd made it to the promised land of the premier League. Now imagine that the money hadn't come in so Real Madrid or AC Milan (or whoever) had bought a major shareholding and were using us to give experience to their youth team players before either recalling them or selling them on. Imagine if we had to change our kit to all white (ok, red & black stripes would be dreadful but not quite the end of the world).
Your club is what/all you identify with, I struggle with the term 'owners' even when you have such apparently good ones as we do let alone being subservient to another club - there are no 'families' in this game, just your club versus the world.
You own your house I assume, you make alterations. Repairs, furniture , have utilities water gas electric, all of which you pay, no one else is responsible for paying your bills.
HRH Mansour, owns the club, he pays all the bills that come in, the property makes money by allowing people e.g. Fans to purchase goods just like a shop, but in the end he owns it and he can sell it.
This is the best thing ever that has happened not for City, but the fans that follow the club with all their hearts and have endured the downs over most of my lifetime, I don't have that problem you do, the amount of money spent that people complain about is distributed back in to the game, what annoys me is the fact that they continually disrespect City, even though we have no debt, like other clubs continue to amass, clubs who spend multi millions on players rather than pay their debts with it.
So I prefer an owner who is responsible , has no debts, brings jobs and redevelopment to an area of Manchester that was previously run down, unlike their rivals 2 miles down the road who appear to have done nothing but line their own pockets, but still have massive debts.
I love our owner :022:
