Well I for one am!
IF, and it is still a big if, SM has put his own money in, so what? And if it was the AD government, also so what? Since the dawn of football, clubs have been funded by benefactor owners, usually also local and a (rich) fan, supplementing the club's earnings to better the club. That's why clubs are important parts of their community.
That only changed with FFP, which we all know was only devised to keep the cartel clubs at the top table getting fatter with no one able to challenge them. FFP has nothing to do with "protecting clubs", or football integrity.
An unjust rule will always be unjust, until someone is brave enough to stand up and fight the rule-makers. Without that mindset we'd still be living under a feudal system!
That someone is Manchester City. And we all know good always prevails over evil...
