Sheikh: Hi councillor, I'd like to renovate the stadium to increase capacity for the future?
Councillor: Ah, Sheikhy, there maybe a problem there.
Sheikh: Eh, why's that my boy, I need to in order to make us the biggest club in the world, remember my pledge?
Councillor: I know, I know, but there's loads of Red Tape I've got to cut through to get planning.
Sheikh: Red Tape, there was no Red Tape when I bought all that land?
Councillor: Yes Sheikh, but that was then and this is now. We've got the plans in place so we don't really need to approve further plans.
Sheikh: Is that right Mr Councillor, so you want me to create the biggest club in the world with a poxy 47000 seats, 20000 less than the Rags.
Councillor: Well Sheikh, we are bigger than City aren't we, no need to rock the apple cart is there?
Sheikh: I see, you are obviously right Mr Councillor. Can you cancel those plans for the New Eastlands Project. While you're there, can you get the contract to the stadium funding, you know, the one that says 3 million a year, I'd like my legal team to have a look over the details.
Councillor: Look young man, we're in this together, you've put the proposals for a billions worth of investment, you can't get out of it that easy.
Sheikh: Can't I, is the money in your bank? I've found a new site now, a few miles away. It'll take a couple of billion, but you know, it'll be worth it.
Councillor: What other site, there's no other site that can handle what you want - training grounds, hotels, plaza's etc, where else can handle that?
Sheikh: Old Trafford my son, Old Trafford. And while you're at it, get the boundaries changed, we are Manchester City, not Old Trafford City. Cappice!
Quivering Wreck: Cappice Mr, Your Highness, Sir. Will that be 70 thousand at the Etihad or 80?
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".
The Future's Bright, The Future's Blue!!!
