Err 7seven7, Hughes has spent over 200M, let's not make out it's some kind of achievement.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

My grammar is never 100%, plus I'm tired. Having spent £200mn I think that one can draw success from the fact that the biggest team in Manchester is taking note of its smaller rivals. Although that success is not tangible, none the less, its success of sorts. It may have cost £200mn but City are now visible.

Fergie owned City twice last season and he's done it again before a ball is kicked.

Of course. Its not about that though. City have gone from being in a position where most people outside of Britain won't of even heard about them to being discussed, even if it is with derision, in the same sentences as Europes biggest clubs. That has to be an achievement.

Then your justifying my point,. By becoming more visible City have increased their profile, hence they have achieved an extension to their global reputation.

the semicolon refers to multiple definitions hence success would mean an obtaining by exertion, successful performance, or accomplishment.

Yeh I know but its main meaning is - Something accomplished successfully, especially by means of exertion, skill, practice, or perseverance.

But surely you'd be reluctant to call something an achievement if it's done without any of the four components above.

I come back to this later as I have to sleep, but certainly there's perseverance because City have been knocked back by so many players to gain any reputation. Skill because they've been skillfull in making a repuation where there previously was none. Extertion is more subjective. And they've succesfully accomplished making themselves more well known.

Its an achievement, just a rather modest one considering the outlay.
