Quote from: Armamike on Today at 03:20:25 PMTime to ditch Salah. That was ridiculous behaviour from him.😂😂😂 man has been the best Liverpool player since Gerrard. Probably done in summer too, same as klopp. Everyone chill the f**k out. Just last week people were yapping he didn't care enough

Quote from: Look-Up! on Today at 03:25:40 PMI already stated I'd prefer to see Arsenal pip them to the title to keep things fresh. Have never said you can win the PL without money, just that their success doesn't put my knickers in a twist. If anything I've found their emergence a breath of fresh air up to this.

City are entitled to appeal and if they get away scot-free all's fair in love and war. Football is incredibly corrupt, always was so I'll take my moral cues from elsewhere, certainly not from a football governing body.Quote from: Look-Up! on Today at 09:31:12 AMYou forgot they've done all this by breaking financial rules and have 115 charges against them.. but yeah fair play to them.Quote from: imtommygunn on Today at 08:23:21 AMDare I say it but it's a bit like Dublin. Financial advantage, an obviously brilliant manager and a well run setup in terms of actually using money well as opposed to just throwing money needlessly at stuff.Maybe not as big an outlier as the Dubs as I think there's plenty financial clout and resources in other clubs in the PL to match City. There's a reason Leister were 5000/1 to win the PL, it's essentially a closed shop to only the few unless an unusual set of stars align.
Money on its own won't buy you success. It's definitely a big help mind you.
Problem with City is that their recent history meant they were unfashionable and easy to label "new money trash". It's pure snobbery and I like how much their success winds people up. Sure it's starting to become a bit boring and it would be nice to see someone like Arsenal pip them this year b ut fair play to them and their manager for what they've achieved. They'll come back into the pack soon enough when he leaves. They haven't racked up a billion in debt, don't owe hundreds of millions in unpaid transfer fees to other clubs and are investing in the local community. If some sugar daddy is willing to waste his own money doing that, so what.
PL was quite happy to follow the money and sell out, same as the big clubs in PL. Very happy to get in bed with the devil and devalue their history, FA Cup cough cough, but start crying not fair when they get blind sided by a minnow who wooed big money and then manage that money a hell of a lot better than they ever could.
But there's no point getting too worked up about it either way. I follow football for what happens on the field, not off it, and appreciate City for what they've done. A truly class team.
A Manchester City supporter and if so when did you start following them, before or after the sugar daddy selected them?
What happens off the field is what makes any team successful on it. Manchester City without striking it rich would probably be a club struggling to retain Premier League status than winning league titles.
