City have made little secret of their intentions, following Sheikh Mansour's takeover of the club. The club broke the British transfer record soon after Mansour took charge in 2008, and have since gone on to spend more than £120million in new players alone. Cook was addressing a fans forum in New York, and he told a buoyant crowd that he had little doubts the club would become the world's best. "This football club is, without doubt, going to be the biggest and best football club in the world," Cook said. "I will make no excuses for saying it, as I truly believe it - with the resources and capabilities we have."
