Mmmm, on both aspects.LeeOnePen said:No doubting Cook's ability, but those interview quotes reek of a man trying to win back public favour. As much as we'd all love for it to be true, the fans aren't the most important asset a club has.

That's a bit like saying the wheels on a car aren't the most important part, try driving without one.
Tell Alex McLeish that the fans aren't the most important asset a club has, ask Joe Royle what kept the club solvent when City were in the wilderness.
Whatever income projections Mansour has to re-coup his investment requires fans, UK and worldwide, to put their hands in their pockets. City is both a football club and a business, throughout the best part of the last 40 years crap managers and poor players have, in their own way, unintentionally conspired to bury this club as a football team and as a business, but the fans kept the show on the road.
to say the fans are not the most important part of a club is to imagine a blockbuster film that no one has seen, a pop hit no one has heard, a book no one has read, Tescos without customers.
I used to equip hospitals abroad, that was my job, I used to see buyers, health care civil servants, hospital administrators, contractors, the really important people, they used to often speak disparagingly about the lowly nurses, but you can run a hospital without all these "important" people, you try running it without the nurses.
