Would anyone want City type owners now?
Depends what you want, City are safe with them.They are in it for the very long run, the next generation of the Sheikh's family will eventually take over the baton.How many full size training grounds do they have, is it something like thirty ? They've even built an extension to the tram system in the area. Compare that with the walk from Kirkdale Station.
The converse side is that they will gradually become a global name. I remember being in a crowded bar area of a Hotel in Berlin. Man City were playing at the same time as a Bundesliga one match. The Bundesliga match was shown on a 16 inch telly above the bar. The Man City match on a giant screen on the wall. A few Germans were gathered around the small TV watching their game. The rest,many of whom looked far eastern were watching Man City. A sure sign that they are steadily picking up a global following.
I guess this will not go down well with those who have supported their club through thick and thin - including that time when they dropped to the third tier. Some of them (though not all of course) will probably feel that the soul of their club is being taken away from them. That I suppose is how Spangles feels about LFC. I know Wilki likes to make out he's just some Walter Mitty but take it from me he's real, and a long season ticket holder, but one who just goes through the motions of going the match. I'd label him a former fan come observer
