Excellent. So there'll be a happy ending where we live out of dreams and our foes are vanquished.
Anyway, it'll be a Warner Bros ending now. That's all, Folks! [I think not]
 
A proper fucking player running our club. Deserves his own thread. Makes his predecessor look like David Brent.

Funny how that phrase has died a death on here, isn't it?

He appears to be so incompetent that he's failed spectacularly in his mission to destroy Manchester City by adding a billion pounds to our market value in 2 years.
 
What has he alone done? Not a lot. Virtually all our deals have been achieved without his input. If people want to sing his praises fine, but the facts are he won't be missed ask Barcelona if their struggling without him.

Mate if you actually read up on his time at Barca their increase in revenue and increase in the value of the club followed a very similar pattern to ours. The reason Barca haven't struggled since he left is because he left such an incredible legacy, the hard work had already been done.

Read the article linked in the top of the page. When he took over at Barca their revenue was half that of the Shite. When he left they'd over taken them.

The blueprint for the CFG model is actually outlined in his book that he released 2 years before he joined us. Garry Cook had a similar business plan, but Sorriano had actually done the groundwork on a Barcelona team based in Miami.

What he has done at our club has been remarkable. The increase in revenue, the increase in value of the club during his reign has been the most rapid period of growth of any football club in history. Asking what he's actually done for us is similar to the Monty Python sketch asking what the Romans ever did for us.

Of course the finance and politcal connections that Khadoon and Sheikh Mansour have provided has been invaluable, but Sorriano has steered the ship.

As I've said in previous posts, different scenarios require different types of leadership. When Garry Cook arrived we were amateur, down trodden, beat up, self affacing, the butt of every joke. At that time we needed revolutionary leader. Someone who could inspire. Someone who could make losers believe they could be winners again. Garry was ideal for that.

The last few years have required a different kind of leadership. A specialist in football. A specialist in increasing revenue and generating value out of a football business. There is literally not a single person on the planet with a better track record of doing that than Sorriano, and he's now done it at two different clubs.
