The very nature of the built environment enforces our beliefs, ideas, and actions. Footballers are human. They train at a comfortable, newly-built 'high performance centre', play at the comfortable new Ashton Gate, park their 4x4s in the player car park, and get paid handsomely for doing so.
It's not a great leap to expect the built environment, on top of lacklustre management (dogshit 'nice lads' culture), and 5 years of managers without the 'nasty' gene to have altered the culture at City profoundly.
We're ******.
