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.

Quote from: gawa316 on Today at 12:12:06 AMIt's a combo of the best manager about, financial clout, and recruitment...city haven't skipped a beat after replacing legends like Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva, Aguero, etcYaya a legend too. Greatest thing about Pep is his ability to handle egos. No one is bigger than the club, doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. If you get notions you either fall quickly back in line or get the boot. But still he keeps the persona of someone approachable, reasonable and forgiving. Brilliant manager.
