I think you are getting emotional and reading too much into that assertion. There was obvious ellipsis in that statement, as it was responding to the way that Cortese is acting over the 125 year activities. For the response (with the ellipsis added back in), read: "success on the pitch is the only thing that matters, not how Cortese is acting over the 125 year celebrations."
However, I am impressed at how naturally you were able to conjure up that picture of our future. Almost like you've had really vivid waking nightmares about it or something.
