As a City fan for over 30 years I can assure you all that even at our lowest point in the 3rd tier of football we had a hardcore of fans numbering almost 30,000. We followed them on the way down and we followed them on the way back up, we are still following them now.
City will invest heavily for this window and the next just to get on level playing field (pardon the pun) with the established top 4 teams, then the spending will be curbed once a solid foundation is laid within the squad.
Think of it as buying a house, you layout a huge amount of cash up front, then as time goes on you add a new bathroom, kitchen, conservatory.
As for ruining football? Does making the likes of Bellamy, Ireland, Jo and Hart available for loan (while city are paying part of their wages) to clubs who otherwise couldn't afford them really ruin football?
