I have been looking for the right place to voice my incredible gratitude to The Sheik and Khaldoon Al Mubarak and after watching this video I cannot hold it in any longer and want to try to put words to the feelings that the owners, chairman and the whole staff have given me over the last year or so.
First of all I must join all the others who have said the exact same thing, you (the owners and the team) are inpeckable! I cannot find ONE thing that can even be considered in the vicinity of wrong with what you've done with the club since the takeover. How many fans can say that about their owners, chairman/board and employees.
As Khaldoon Al Mubarak said in his interview, every aspect of the club has evolved. We are not only building for a top 4 squad but a top 4 club!
The investments that have been made are sound and shows a perspective that is not short but long. A Perspective that seems to be based on wisdom, experience and as Khaldoon Al Mubarak said a group's descitions. Not only the way Khaldoon speaks but also the way he seems to steer the club gives me great comfort. The way he includes the people around him and his knowledge of not only the club and the league but also that he himself does not have all the answers and that ideas/conclutions are best found in a group with people who have been in the club and been in this business for a long time makes me 100% confident in his leadership.
I only disagree with what he says on one point and that is that I dont think there will be many more critics of the owners if people see the interviews, watch the progression off the field and understand what The Sheik, Khaldoon Al Mubarak and the whole team is doing. No footballsupporter would be able to say that he does not envy our owner, chairman and staff without lying.
Thank you for the hard work you have done from the bottom of my heart. I can promise you that we as supporters will cherish the love you have shown us and will return it a thousandfold.
I would also like to add (as a supporter not living in the UK) that the new website has completely changed how close I felt to the club. I am Norwegian, born and raised and live in Oslo. I cannot participate on all the fantastic new stuff you got going on for the fans (open training, conserts etc) but by having this great website, constantly updating it with videos from these events, highlights, streaming of matches, interviews etc. I feel like I am close to the city and the club. No matter the distance from where I live to the stadium I feel like I am there!
Thanks to you all this is a very exiting time to be a Citizen! I hope to see you all at the sunderland game in december, I have allready booked my ticket:-)
