We are simply not a club with a winning culture. It is not demanded from the top nor do they understand what it takes to get there. This feeds down into the players.
We have had plenty of player turnover and had many great players with titles to their name and still we bottle it. We've had proven winners as managers who couldn't get a tune out of the squad.
City obviously never had a winning culture before the Sheiks arrived but they came in hellbent on one thing: creating the most successful football team in England.
You need that level of ambition (and money) from your owners to make it happen. There is no other way.
We constantly have huge gaps in our squad and whilst recruitment has improved recently we are now relying too heavily on signing kids and hoping they turn world class. As we are seeing with Udogie, Sarr and now Bergvall, Gray this is not a linear process and they may never be those players that could win you a title.
We had moments where we could have plugged those gaps and became good enough to win a title but that would have meant taking a financial risk and that is something Levy will simply never do.
So we will remain in this perpetual project like a poor man's Dortmund.
