Dear Jayson...

"But why didn't he offer to ?invest? at some point between his becoming very, very rich and City becoming a very, very poor team? Why, for instance, didn't he offer to stump up after the calamitous crash of ITV Digital? Or when City were pushing for a play-off place in 2001?

Why not in 2003, when City were wondering how to finance the purchase of Darren Huckerby? Or the summer of 2004, when the club needed money to build a team for the Premiership?

Why not during the season in the top division, when City were straining to stay there? Or the following Christmas, when they were striving to get back into the Premiership?"

Probably the same reason the annointed successors, the Turnerss, didn't.
