People have expressed concerns when big money is splashed on a young player for years. Some did about Rooney and as much as we hate the rug headed knob that didn't turn out too badly did it? The same with Ronaldo. A few have crashed and burnt along the way, anyone remember Peter Marinello signed by Arsenal as the next George Best?
Football clubs mirror real life relationship's in a lot of ways. Some people who have big plans and ideas and express them get derided by some people who know them. " How can YOU be a writer/actor/singer/ sportsman?? It is fear, of losing a friend, of them leaving people behind as they fulfill their dreams.

We have made great progress since the takeover, won a few trophies along the way. How many mocked us at the start of this journey, said we would never succeed, how dare little City think they could ever do so, or be anything but a joke? But succeed we did.

Some people are afraid, full of doubt and trepidation. Don't be, believe and take the next step.
