I genuinely wish to apologise to every Mate on here - particularly Ted and 1632 - who may feel actually disturbed by my (and several OTHERS' tbf) steady, compulsive desire to have all key positions at the Club covered by TOP TRAINED, QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS in order to have the business plan set and led by best Chairman and Owner ever engaged in the whole Sport, undertaken and executed at the best possible set of abilities and skill.
I must apologize, because I am passionate, feel strongly this issue and sometimes I got wound up by... let's call it naivety.
I honestly think that I never happened to listen a more ludicrous, low rhetorical, than:
1) who criticizes the Chairman's secretary, slags the Chairman off, or, even worse, dumps the Chairman's plans, simply on the assumption that is the Chairman (sometimes more sophisticatedly defined "Chairman's non-playing management team") undertaking and dealing with all the tasks involved by the day by day running down of a World Leading Football Club of the 3rd Millennium!
I tried hard - with my limited language handling - to draw the attention on the fact that dr. Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak is an established voice at World Economic Forum, established member of the Elite Community of world leading businessmen, main Investor of the massive wealth of the Royal Crown of Abu Dhabi, CEO and Managing Director of several very demanding companies, hence he got a time schedule EXTREMELY CROWDED of business and personal engagements varying from hundreds of Board Meetings, Executive Board Meetings per year, business entertainments and relationships developments, and, hopefully few extremely deserved rest and vacations!
In light of the above, to think the He may have time and attention to make job descriptions other than that of THE CHAIRMAN is......... I don't want to disrespect anybody on here, because I do share the love of this forum.
Consequently, those tasks, even those well above the mere execitives, are NECESSARELLY DELEGATED to other SENIOR OFFICIALS, and here comes the bloody POINT: the more those officials, in charge of KEYS TASKS delegated by the Chairman in executing HIS BUSINESS PLAN, are professionally senior, the best, faster, efficiently, etc., MCFC will rise and flourish, including the compliance with FFPR (that I stll, personally, continue to consider not a serious issue, until Chelsea and PSG will continue to drive as they are doing, at least!)
2) COMPLIANCE with FFPR: Even the stinky arguments of the very clever German Chancellor and Hers more rigorous Hawks have never peaked the utter shame (in terms of Economic theory) of denying that there simply can't be RISE unless generating GROWTH.
Now, insofar I am aware, when football or other sport industries are concerned, there is only one steady means of growth: generating sporting SUCCESS. Success, like it or not, means multiplying of earnings from media rights, propagation of fan base, multiplying merchandising incomes, gates fees, matchdays incomes, etc. (besides of few other collateral benefits very well experienced around Old Trafford: media complacency in order to please more extended customers, hence more refereeing complacency, etc.). See the video of Vinnie just landed in Vietnam and try and figure out the impact of that excitement on this (current) year financial statements. I am already chuckling in the verge of reading the impact on the incomes growth on last year financial statements, mind, based "only!" on the boost of FA CUP and 3rd place success. Next financial term (that including the boost of the title and record breaking new SKY/BPL contract, mainly driven by the heartbreaking success by City) will report incomparably more growth. Such success driven growth has nothing to do with the "Chairman's non-playing management team" but, opposite, it's only due to the "Chairman's playing management team" and the players effectively chosen by the manager and who the "Chairman's non-playing management team" had been capable to sign (Yaya Toure, David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, Mario Balotelli, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri) who have boosted the core of few professional players left by Sparky (The Skipper, Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Gareth Barry, Pablo Zabaleta), all widely improved and developed by the "Chairman's playing management team".
Those are facts/points, call them as You like, if are clear to a cretin like me, I very much doubt that they are not bright as the sunshine to a top businessman, supremely educated and experienced, like the City Chairman: that's why I am more than confident that, now that the attention of the Chairman has been drawn on the issue, he will sort it out in due course, with the lights turned off, as commanded by good manners of the business community.
There's nothing personal, it's only business: business commands growth to comply with FFP, and to grow City needs success, and to gets success City needs to implement and develop the potential of the TEAM, ACCORDED not CONTRASTING the football vision of the Manager who has started the wheel of success and growth.
To get the top is hard, to stay top is twice the difficult and commands, team building and top professionalism on every key operative and executive areas of the business. Having the best Owners and Chairman in the world, finally (and MEANINGFULLY!) a great CEO, a very good and ruthless manager helps, very much, but does not suffice if all that excellent projectuality is blocked and smoothed by a an executive level not up to the tasks! THAT'S THE POINT, and it has nothing to do with a childish or petulant will to deject a poor workman at the Club, who, by the way, is not a Welsh miner from the XIX century who couldn't feed his family otherwise. He is simply not fit to his job's description, not at City level, to say the very least and obvious.
Those - not me - who are seriously concerned of FFPR compliance, should regard at THE ISSUE twice the more concerned, not least than what they should have regarded the issue of the "ruthless, unfair and shameful" dismissal, not fit enough to deliver CL revenue and growth platform accorded with the timing commanded by FFPR.
In all truth, there is only one scenario - obviously according to my own personal opinion - which might still lead to FFPR troubles: a very unfortunate, long stop, involving together and at least 2 out of 3 of VK/JL, YT and/or DS, Should City had been able to acquire the service of De Rossi and Hazard, that scenario would no longer be cause of serious concern, while taking the figure of total investments made by the Owner relying on demands of the manager who has delivered FA CUP and LEAGUE TITLE in a row almost on par with those made upon Mark Hughes's.
It's my strong believe that If the "Chairman's non-playing management team" was completed with a senior sporting director (Aitor Berguistan, my dream candidate) the the "Chairman's playing management team" would have had Hazard and De Rossi to full complement of an almost perfect TEAM and concerns of "Rags having enough lackeys amongst the other chairmen of the EPL to carry the vote to establish anti-City rules" would lessen day after day since his appointment.
3) KHALDOON vs. MANCINI FICTIONAL POINT: Roberto Mancini is a City employe, selected, chased and appointed by the Chairman, who therefore, not different to all other Chairmen taking direct part of the executive board of management (as opposite to the so called Dual Model whereas the CEO presides over the executive board and the Chairman presides over the supervisory board), holds most part of the credit arising from success of his staff.
4) RAG-LIKE ARROGANCE: while I reckon there are still not more than 3 who seriously think that I am a Mancini fan rather than/before that a MCFC fan, I fear and suspect that some of those who, hopefully, will bother to evaluate this poor but demanding (to my limited language handling) effort, shall rise an eyebrow saying: "Ouch, I smell raglike arrogence!"
To all those fellow mancityfan.netters, I want to say:
I was born fan of a little Club (UC Sampdoria) and consequently had suffered the arrogance of the italian Rags and others wannabe Rags, all life long. I hated and hate the raglike attitude of arrogance and anti-sportsmanship all life long, and I honestly and humbly think that I do have very few to learn in this respect.
The opinion portrayed above is trimmed by the Club choice to elect steady sporting success as own benchmark: I would have felt equally happy and I would have equally enjoyed in case, probable if it wasn't for G14 Cheats, the Club would have chosen a longer trajectory, to be built on Accademy's Graduates and other youngster devellopment.
Because FFPR imposed a Club acceleration of the trajectory, now that City have climbed to the top, domestically wise at least, all I want is PROFESSIONALISM and SKILL not less than Soriano and Mancini level in every key area at the Club: failing that, it will be become increasingly hard to stay to the top, despite all investment that Owner and Chairman will continue to endeavour generously, unless the Club organization won't be completed with a professional able to convert that money into the few players strong enough to fit the MCFC bill.
I very much hope, that having spent half a night in drawing this poor spelled opinion will help to broaden the opinion of those who - genuinely - think that the desire to have top Officials in charge at every key dept of the Club is a witch hunt conceived to hav a dig at the next door poor chap.

In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!
