That may be true, but if you look at the CITY brand and business since 2012, it has grown massively. We have become football giants both in revenue and results on the pitch. We are now football ROYALTY. Sanctioning Kompany to take the role of Txiki, instead of an experienced world class DOF at this stage of the club's evolution is not a strategic nor a tactical move. It is a sentimental move and a very experimental move that is likely to get us burned. Sentimental moves are dangerous and costly because they are not well thought out. We are too big to take such a risk now. City will take a massive hit, if we go down that route. The momentum we have built on the pitch in the past decade will take a massive hit. Whether you believe[based on sentiment] in Kompany or not and I do not recommend that we go the sentimental route. At the end of day, when the day comes, the club will do whatever it wants to do. If they go for Kompany then they will. Just my 2cents
[DISCLAIMER: I have no MBA in FINANCE/BUSINESS from HARVARD/WHARTON/SLOAN/BOOTH. I have no PhD from MIT/CALTECH/STANFORD/HARVARD in COMPUTATIONAL/THEORETICAL/EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS/MATHEMATICS studying COSMOLOGY/NUCLEAR/HIGH-ENERGY PARTICLE PHYSICS]. I am not armed with a CFA. I have never worked at BAIN/Mckinsey/BCG as a CONSULTANT and I have never worked for a STARTUP in SILICON VALLEY as a partner or in any capacity. I have never worked for Multi Billion $ HEDGE FUNDS as a PORTFOLIO MANAGER/HEAD TRADER. I have never ran VC or PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM or opened a business, nor have worked for a football club in a decision making role, making tough calls. I have never been in a role that requires critical thinking and making tough decisions and making Multi-million/Billion $ money moves. In a nutshell, I am just a City fan with a baseless opinion, with 0 business knowledge and football strategies and acumen. Meaning I do not know much about these things, I just want what is best for City that is all and if Kompany is best, so be it!!! ;)]
