What part of my post do you need to be gullible to believe?
I suppose you might need to be more positive than you feel comfortable being? (and thats not a criticism but I do sense we are built differently.) But I don't think gullible is an appropriate word.
DD it might just be that I am closer to being right than you and I reckon if thats the case you would be OK with that once it's happened?
With all due respect, fbloke, the vast majority of the post is just nonsense with absolutely no factual basis apart from you having a Lutheresque "dream".
What basis do you have for believing that our players will give vast sums to charities? What basis do you have for this utopian belief that we will win trophies but not gloat? That we will have a ground full of kids who pay 3 and 6 pence to get in? That we will be the best move on player's CV?
etc etc etc.
It is indeed a golden time for Manchester City because we have an owner who is loaded and who looks like he is prepared to invest to get us to the top table. That in itsself is a truly wonderful thing and it appears that his return on that investment may come in different ways. I certainly hope so because I can't see a successful City side being self-sustaining for a long long time.
My vision is that we will continue to improve. I think we'll win trophies soon. I think we'll challenge for the league. Hell, we might even win it within a few years. I think we'll play in the champions league, maybe as soon as next year.
But all this talk about City saving the World is just embarrassing, fbloke.
Keep it real. That's all I'm saying.
