Fucking spot on.
People may not like sabotaging the club or leaving just 60 mins into a game. But drastic times call for drastic measures, and to me we are in serious danger of the soul being ripped out of the club.
How did Khaldoon put it, we should all 'take the pinch' for the sake of long term gain?
No, that's precisely the point mate. We're not the ones sabotaging the club, Soriano and Glick are: pricing out longterm blues and putting decimal points on the books ahead of the core support which propped this club up for years. The support which was, and is, the very lifeblood of the club.
They are sabotaging that, they're creating schism between the support and the club and a protest would be an effort to redress that, to disrupt their sabotage before it becomes completely endemic and leaves irreversible scars on our support, and City lose precisely what makes this club what it is.
A protest would be an organised effort from blues that live and breathe this club, and want what is best for it, in sharp contrast to faceless bean counters like Soriano and Glick.
There'll come a time in the future where we look back on this period as the time we showed what we can achieve as a fanbase once we all come together for a cause, and halted a regression into the complete gentrification and sanitisation of our match crowd. Or, we'll look back upon it with enormous regret, at an opportunity missed with the club subsequently having become unrecognisable to the one we used to identify with, the harm done irreversible.
It'll be our generation of blues that'll be regarded with complete and utter contempt by future blues if we don't act now. It's our duty to be the custodians of the club when tossers like Soriano and Glick couldn't care less about their responsibilities in what will inevitably be their brief, but very well paid, professional relationship with the club. It'll be us, our friends and family, that have to live with their legacy, good or bad.
It's our duty to ensure they recognise the responsibilities they have as custodians of this great club. And ultimately, that we're the foremost custodians of this club and have to ensure we utilise our influence to the best we can when those entrusted with that responsibility willingly overlook it.
We can do something, and I have faith that we will. We're City, not Soriano and Glick. Never forget that.
