I've very much felt the same way mate, even questioning my love for City at one stage for being part of this modern dirty soap opera & starting to think, have we been doing things wrongly and are we bad for the game?.
Then I realized that was a lesson in faith, just like all the other dark times we've had. We have been unfairly targeted from the offset, despite bowing to each of these corrupt b*stards demands to fit into their old boys club, now we're finally doing it our own way and careful consideration I couldn't be happier now, bring it on.
We as a football club have brought nothing but competitive balance to the PL, making the product better, threatened the old guard in Europe, making the product better. We have following the precedence that was set before us by the likes Arsenal, Liverpool, United & Chelsea here and Madrid and others abroad, we didn't create this landscape, never forget that, we just redefined it & out maneuvered all of them to the top of whilst they sniggered about our lofty ambitions. They're not laughing now, and know we are a force to be reckoned with regardless of this case, god bless City and our owners for making this sport competitive again at the top level, long may it continue.
All that without even going into what we have done for East Manchester, are we bad for the game? Anything but.
