Biggest mistakes of the decade.

[greasedupdeafguy]

So to summarize, you like the money and the trophies that come from it, but not the necessities to generate said money? I get to come to only one or two games a season so I guess I am a day tripper and can't comment, but I don't really understand that. It's pretty clear that the club are trying to be financially stable and sustainable, so you can't really have one without the other.

You can have a great football side without the Etihad turning into disneyland.

Letting Sancho go, for a very small fraction of what he was worth within roughly a year of when he left.

Season card price increases for me.
year on year the difference to the club equates to KdB win bonus.
I cannot fathom why the club do this, especially in the austere times of the last decade.
On the pitch, we really cannot complain, the club has been phenomenal.

Necessities? Ticketing generates next to fuck all. We have a turnover of over £500m and ticketing contributes very little towards that.

City upped seasoncard prices by £30odd again last year and that only generated a measly £1.3m. What was the point? City do not need £1.3m extra just to piss everyone off.

Not really, matchday revenues last year were just under £60m, compared to ten years ago when it was under £20m. Where do you think that increase came from? Tickets go up slightly each year. And that probably doesn't even capture the full financial impact of the "disneyfication", as someone else put it, which you dislike. I'm sure plenty of our deals on the commercial side include some sort of matchday tie in as well, which certainly accounts for at least some of the ticket giveaways to "nobodies" and the like. It's just kind of the reality of things and on balance I think it's worth it.

Letting Glauber Berti go.

We could of done a better job in moving both Dzeko and Balotelli on after the first title win.

Despite the examples above, it's hardly been a "typical City" decade. Thank fcuk! It's one I'll remember for doing a lot more right than we did wrong. Our neighbours on the other hand...

Overdosing on Ritalin. Curse my stupid dopamine dysregulation.
