David Healy: City fans deserve chance to splash out

Friday, 5 September 2008

What an incredible few days it has been for Manchester City.

I’m sure their fans are still finding it difficult to believe.

And trust me, everyone involved in football is in the same boat.

I’m told that the people who have taken City over have 10 times more money than Roman Abramovich!

That’s just crazy.

City are going to be able to throw cash around everywhere and with millions on the table, who knows what players they will attract.

They have already brought in Robinho from Real Madrid for £32 million which is a huge statement of intent.

City’s new owners won’t just want to finish in the top four. They will want to finish first!

Having lived in Manchester and been at United I know a bit about those who follow the red and blue teams in the city.

And over the years in comparison to United fans, City supporters have been long suffering.

Despite problems on and off the field those City fans have been incredibly loyal and now it looks as if they have finally got their reward.

The Manchester derbies will be even more interesting this season.
