short sighted fella - if city were to be excluded form the CL then you can be certain that ultimately our top players will move on and replacing htem with similar quality will be nigh on impossible
CL is the holy grai for the top top players not the PL
Perhaps, not necessarily so. We were often told that players would not want to come to us without Champions League. We attracted the likes of YaYa from Barca without it. Maybe that was with the knowledge the club would or should qualify for the Champs league, maybe not. Tevez was another. Forget what's happening now with him, at the time it was a major signing for us without Champions League.
If a team gets to the point that I believe our owners intend to take us, in time with a growing brand and global popularity whilst some may not like that but that's how it is then the club will undoubtably have greater influence and power of the worldwide footballing stage. At the minute we are the new kids on the block that got lucky. I believe eventually there will be an acceptance, as there was with Chelsea.
