Took the liberty of adding in a subject. It deserves a wider audience and I think a few people might miss it.
More info than the club ever gives us!

A very good read. Best not let our detractors with all their taunts know what is really happening so we can laugh at their ignorance.

Phew, that's some read and eloquent testimony to the ambitions of our owners.
It's quite frightening in a way and quite humbling at the same time.

Truly amazing stuff. Imagine where we will be in a decade, both off and on the pitch.
If any top brass at the other big 5 clubs have read this and understood it, they should be very afraid. We are just seeing the tip of a huge iceberg at present. Todays revenues will be left in the distance as we head towards being a billion pound a year turnover club

It's a bit weird for City to be basically building a deathstar. I love how brilliant we are and all the success and that, but there's no better feeling than winning in adversity. Does anyone else worry that the next generation of Blues - the ones who might see us lose roughly 3 times a year - will basically be little wallies (rags)...?

It’s our job to keep the next gen humble.

The thought has crossed my mind that football in general will become less palatable to my generation.
I try my best to keep my young lad well grounded and not let him get ahead of himself.
Sometimes I think I overdo it a bit. Does he really need to have a typical City mentality ingrained into his psyche.

How're we going to do that? Wobbling on about Chesterfield away in '98 while Leroy Sane pops in his 30th of the season?
Will mean about as much to them as Dennis Tueart's overhead meant to me when I watched us go out of the league cup quarters to Blackburn.
