This is a sad state of affairs and even my avatar is called into question - ffs lol

This is my first post so forgive me if I get things wrong or make an ass of myself.
I am worried for the future of Manchester City. I have misgivings about the sustainability of the path the current owner is taking. What happens when the current owner gets bored of his 'pet' project and sells up?
Look at the current wage bill - yaya on approx 250k per week, how many other players on over 100-150k per week. The possibility of the signings of 'super star players, such as Messi £100+ mil to sign, Pogba/Bale at least 60+ mill per player - not counting wages etc. Advertising and sponsorship only goes so far. I realise we could off set with selling players, TV rights etc but if we/city continue on this path - spending big - can city afford it in the long run. Look at Blackburn in the past and the struggles they went through.
I understand we've returned to profitability but is it economically viable to continue spending big? After all spending big doesn't make for 'continued' success (trophies, cups etc) How much has been spent on players since the current owner took over? Don't get me wrong I remember when we signed Robinho for £32 mill and was amazed we could afford that - what city spending big, get in! But we know how that ended. How many flops cost the club how many millions - how many more millions must be spent?
I think it is time for the club to start promoting youth players like Lopes, Denayer and Zuculini. It's time to bring them into the first team fold and get them 'blooded'. I mean come-on how much was spent on the academy, facilities etc! I know it takes time to bring the players up but when does it start - wait till we spend another 100-200 mill on cash grabbing leeches?
I'm just worried about the clubs future both on the pitch and financially or I could be worrying about nothing. Anyway thanks for reading this post and sorry if it's been covered before.
Cheers.
