But don't think justice always prevails. It doesn't always. If they want to hit City, then I am pretty confident that Sheikh Mansour will respond and unlike Woodward, Glazer and the rest of the footballing incompetents he has demonstrated that he is smart. City already have the fanbase. UEFA will energise it, Sheikh Mansour will finance the infrastructure spend and City within 4-5 seasons will be out on our own and our children will inherit a super club not just our memories of City doing the 100 points and 100 goals in a season.
We've had a decade of memories that probably would have sustained us for the rest of our City supporting lives but at the moment that is down to the genius of Guardiola. How long will it last? 2-3 seasons if we are lucky and then what. Inevitably however incompetent Man Utd are, eventually they or most likely Arsenal will get it right and our time will come to an end. But if UEFA move against us, we will move back and go again and we'll end up with an even stronger club.
This City is built on the takeover and the investment thereafter. If UEFA and the clubs behind them want Round 2 then you go for it.
You're kidding yourself, bud.
Give 'em an inch, people will take a mile, including a Premier League (new boss at the helm) which can also create a new set of parameters yet seen, "in light of supposed UEFA moves", all backed by a voting block which is made up of the actual clubs who have worked behind the scenes against us for years.
We're already seeing a methodical introduction of rules which have been drawn up after years of them observing our brilliant business model, re the amount of players a club can send out on loan (We have earned more than anybody from this via CFG in recent seasons)
I don't believe for a second our owners have have been sat with their thumbs up their arses waiting to see see what UEFA will do. A dialogue will be in place.
This is all about tainting the entire era of Manchester City. They know they can't take on our cash, so it's about deligitimising the entire project, regardless of whether we win six Premier League titles on the bounce.
We have no ally in this, so the English champions not being involved in their shitty competition, not a fuck will be given that day.
Personally, cover the shortfall, invite Everton, Newcastle, West Ham, Wolves, Fulham and some others to an Abu Dhabi summer tournament where each participant gets £15m each and the winner gets £50m.
Champions League money covered for however long they deem fit to keep us out. Make Liverpool, Arsenal, United and Chelsea concerned that the rest of their Premier League rivals are being wedged in.
