City are very close to a tipping point.

I'm sober, level headed and fully compus mentus.

I mention that because some may think I am over stating a few things, but I fully think City are close to a tipping point in the clubs recent history.

The end result will be a club that is more than successful.

The end product will be a self-sustaining, profitable, community based club which is also a world wide brand.

We will win trophies and yet be as proud of how important our youth development is - like Barcelona.

We will draw in bigger crowds than many currently imagine because it will be based on families and young fans more than it has ever been before.

We will be the affordable club, the pride of Europe for pricing and accessibility for those with disabilities.

And we will be stronger for it.

Our players will be more than encouraged to do charity work, it will run through the very core of the club. Players will re-engage with the public.

To sign on as a City player will be the most impressive part of any players career. In doing so you become one of a family which is above mere money and trophies (but they will come).

To be a City player will be the very best and players will want to join so that they can be part of something truly special.

In fact if you choose United or Real ahead of City people will say it was because of the money.

City will be providing football with a new image, an image of being greater for the experience not just wealthier.

There will be a new, beautifully proportioned stadium sat in a glittering development beyond the dreams of any other club.

There will be a new training camp second to none in the world with access for the fans.

And all of this will be based around the very best supporter experience from the stadium to the website and ticket office.

We will win silverware and celebrate each time we win another honour, but we wont take anything for granted, we wont gloat.

All of this will happen before our very eyes, we are the lucky ones.

Good post, however, the bit in blue is seriously not going to happen. Even the cheaper new tickets will go up £250-300 over five years IMO.

He wasn't wrong was he. I too though it a little OTT at the time but I've been happily proved wrong.
