Simple Question: Do you trust our owner?

[kaz7]

Not sure , even very successful business men can make mistakes

How about because it’s more lucrative, stops us potentially being left behind and breaks UEFA’s corrupt stranglehold on European football.

All this wailing and crying by fans before any real details have been revealed is ridiculous. As things stand we might possibly have a few more euro games than we would’ve had in the expanded CL. Nothing else is set to change, we are still fully committed to fulfilling the domestic program.

While I agree with all the positives, all the positives are outweighed by the fact every other English club is left behind as the founders are guaranteed being in the superleague. It just destroys the domestic competition. If there is no hope of joining the elite all other teams will wither and die.

My dream when the sheikh bought City was that maybe finally I would see us win the FA Cup and the League not that we would be admitted to a euro super league i.e the CL.
If I were an Everton or Newcastle fan dreaming of recapturing past glories, this latest tweak to the European system doesn’t kill those dreams. Picture the scene - Newcastle have to win their last home league game to clinch their first title in aeons, do you really think a hysterical St James Pk will be any less hysterical because a win wouldn’t qualify them for the super league ? Nobody will give a fuck.

 

[I'm Blue]

Yes I do.
They have run this club perfectly (pretty much) from day one and have always done right by us.
They obviously feel this is the best/only option for us.
Time will tell if that's correct.

except the only way to compete with the top six is a a massive cash injection.
That is unlikely in the current set but does happen (look at us and Leicester)
If there is no way into the elite then there is no way for an investor to recoup the money. Therefore its even more unlikely (I would argue its so unlikely as to not happen) that any club outside the top six will will get the cash injection needed, so your scene of Newcastle will not happen.

A great deal more than I trust the OP. How’s the family?

 

[mccity]

Yeah

I trust him to protect his investment.

I trust him to act in his own best interest.

Do those interests coincide with mine?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Some of the threads today are bordering on ridiculous, plenty of people wanting to stick the boot into the club and all too ready to end decades of love.

City are an institution, they are separate from any individual.

Same people weirdly who also support players over their clubs.

We would be out of business if it wasn't for our owner and the stewardship of Khaldoon.

How can anybody trust anyone capable of such a morally corrupt decision?

Moral Courage is all about taking a tough but correct decision in the face of temptation to do something else that is easier or will self-serve.

For all that has gone before, it is now clear that those who make the decisions at Manchester City FC are failing in moral courage and subsequently their failure to do the right thing, has FOREVER brought shame on our club and embarrassment on our fans.

Whatever happens from here, we are forever tarnished. We had no need to involve ourselves in this mess but a lack of foresight due to being blinded by greed has in this one instant eradicated this club's credibility not only to its fans but also the wider sporting world.

I feel sick to the core and frankly I hope those involved in creating this public relations catastrophe rot in hell.
