Is what they have done/doing really any different to what the likes of manchester united, chelsea, blackburn and others before them have done over the years?

 

 

not different, but they have taken it to a ridiculous degree imo.

Not that different from Chelsea, except even more staggeringly large sums of money involved. Very little in common with Blackburn. Fuck all in common with Man U.

Do you not think Blackburn bought the title in 95 then?, yes the sums were much smaller, but compared to everybody else they were spending a lot more. As for Man U, they have just spent hundreds of millions over a much larger scale of time than anyone else.

No, rich owners have always been part of the game, only now it's inevitable that if anyone is going to get to the top it can only be through this way thanks to the likes of Man U at the forefront of the PL and CL pulling the rug from under those behind them and removing competition through fair means and good management. The sums needed to get there are bigger because the league is a lot less even and the top clubs have players on 200k a week and 30m players on the bench, but it's nothing new and won't be the last one.

 

Man U is a different case, they had a great team when it was possible for a manager to build a club to the top and kept their fanbase through to the Ferguson era, which meant they could build the most expensive team in the country to win the league. Then came the PL and CL and the extra revenue it gives to the top teams and the extra revenue from being at the forefront of the games commercialism that cemented their position.

Jack Walker was a local businessman and Blackburn fan. As different from Abu fucking Dhabi as the sums currently involved. As for Man U, they earned the money they spent. They weren't just given it by some obscenely rich plutocrat in search of global good publicity.

Joe Hart is arguably my most disliked player in the league. Arrogant prick.

eh??

 

I think he's an absolute bell end. His on pitch interview after they won the cup showed an insight into what a tosser he is.

Do you mean he's the most disliked player in the league by his fellow players or by fans? I always thought he seemed a decent fella.

Man Citys current standing has been laid on quickly set foundations.  im not saying unstable- just not long dug in foundations. they are like an expensive house of cards. It will be great for a time- but as soon as it starts to wobble.......the in fighting, egos, big time charlies, it will all turn ugly

They have made efforts to look at the longer term though, not least with the plans for those unbelievable training facilities for developing their own players.  I don't think that expense will count against them with the new rules, correct me if I'm wrong, so that's a way to re-direct the crazy money available and build for the long term.
