I don't know what your profession is but you would make a bloody good journalist, superb piece of writing.
Oh that it were so, I am about as diametrically opposed as you could imagine, having spent 25 years trading derivatives I now run a restaurant. Thank you however for your kind words and if MEN are looking I am available if they throw in the season ticket.
There was a semi serious point though, it maybe just the cynicism of my progressing years but does anyone, including the kids, get as dizzy about a group stage match in the champions league as we did huddled round the telly watching Alan Davies on the bus on the way to the stadium. If I suggested to my 14 year old that we watch the bus ride to the stadium he would have me committed.
Give me Ajax v St Etienne any day of the week. In short I oppose anything that is imposed to try and maintain the status quo, and if that is to the detriment of Man City so be it. I used to detest the fact there was no automatic relegation from the fourth division, and think the league benefited from allowing better run teams into the league, it also allows the followers of Non League sides to dream that one day they may play in the professional leagues. Football should not be viewed only as a business and as it incrementally is, the more people will fall out of love with "beautiful game", if ever there were a case of killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
