As a City fan for longer than most on this forum I am used to City being the subject of laughter and even sympathy from the fans of other teams. It was a matter of pride to say I was City and definitely not United then wait for all the jokes and patronising remarks other teams fans could muster.
Came the new era being owned by someone who had vision and has built us a team and a money making machine as well is still a little bewildering for me and after a few years almost being apologetic to be a City fan I have decided that my old defiant self must return.
From now on instead of being a little defensive of our spending I will tell all who criticise that they had better get used to it because we have a reputation to uphold in the transfer market because that is where we invest our profits in better players to make even more profits. Its our current Business Plan and long may it continue so the more we spend the more I will point to our profits and suggest they try it out.
