Manchester City Forums

If you look at various other posts, a large majority of people on here are concerned for our youth team, and are hoping Hughes gets the power to buy well, rather than lavishing cash on the likes of Ronald (£135m FFS!!). We're happy we're minted, but we still want to maintain our identity.

Thanks for the lecture though. I'm sure if you're club gets taken over by billionaires you'll be far more reserved than us lot....

Valid, reasoned and educated arguments there lads, glad that my taxes are going towards a good education for you all.

Seriously the West Ham bit was a light heated gesture so you knew who I supported.

My point is that Money isnt everything. Abramovic can still compete, Utd always will as will Liverpool and Arsenal.

We will always produce good youth players and that is fundemental in the development of football. No new players, no football in the future.

Obviously you can now afford to buy who you want but now everyone knows that money bags is in charge they will be asking for vastly inflated sums.

Just a bit fed up with the gloating from you lot but dont lose touch with reality. It was an affable club because it lived in the shadows of its bigger more arrogant rival. But what now eh? Inflated ticket prices, bigger stands how exactly will you feel that - with plastics - prawn sandwich munchers.

Football is dead. Its supposed to be a working mans game but how long before you cant afford to go or are involved in a European super league when the team is playing all over the world.

The days ofShaun Goater will be missed of that I am sure.

R.I.P.

you have alot of good points fella i agree with you on the football is dead it certainly is

We have been taken over by billionaires and look where that got us!!!

Stop it you're making me cry.

Why is it when united, chelsea, liverpool and arsenal could dominate and outbid everyone else it was ok, and now city can do the same it's the death of football? We've only bought 1 player ffs and everyone's up in arms. Get a grip ffs.

What happens when tickets cost over £100 a game and the hardcore fanbase disappears? You were fantastic supporting your team in its decline its just unfortunate you wont be able to do so this time around.

Because Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and alike are shite clubs with plastic fans. They are arrogant with fake history.

West Ham and City are clubs with rich footballing traditions who support and loyalty come not from spending and winning things but from society (where you grew up, who your Dad, Uncle, Friends supported)

You can live with the grief from Utd fans (or us Arsenal) because you knew you was a true supporter.

Fascism isnt such a bad thing its just the bad press that was associated with it after the fall of the Axis.

but these guys dont have £1bn, they have £550bn. a disgusting amount of money. that is ten times what Abramovich has, fifty times what the Glaziers have and what they spent on Robinho they will have made back the next day in interest!

nt be able to do so this time around.

Why are Liverpool, Chelsea and the Scum "plastic" and West Ham and City are part of the "rich footballing traditions"?

It seems you've made this divide separating successful and unsuccessful clubs.

If/when we win a trophy or two will we then become a "plastic club"? Stupid comment to be honest.

If you read other threads on this forum you'll see that we've weighed up the pros and cons on numerous occasions and that we haven't just got our head in the clouds but you must realise that we've won nothing for 30+ years (and counting!) so no-one can blame us for being a little bit giddy about actually seeing a bright and healthy future for City.

On top of all this I really need a dump. Ta tar!
