While they will never admit it, they like everyone else, know that we are seriously big time now. As you say, to start with Grealish and end with Haaland says it all. I can only imagine it was done through very gritted teeth. But they know where the money is, and globally we are now a money spinner.
City are now the fastest growing club in world football but SKY have already missed the boat. A very big commercial blunder by them.
 
Interesting article on BBC Sport, penned by Harvey Downes from Opta, analysing the chances of anyone catching us in 23/24.

Included was this analysis of the age profile of our squad.

Interesting to note that 2 of the 3 oldest (past peak) players have left the club, with Kyle potentially joining the exodus, reducing the age profile of the squad considerably. The peak players are good for a few years but pre-peak players are frightening for our competitors. When adding Gvardiol to the pre-peak list, the prospects for continued success look pretty good to me.

Goes to show that the emotional ties the supporters have with players aren't shared with the analysists within the club, who base decisions on cold, hard facts. No room for sentiment in modern football.

Refresh & renew, or wilt on the vine.
