I know but you said they stayed up having barely spent anything, which I don't think ~£70m is.

Even if we speculate a bit knowing we've got £150m coming in at the end of the season I don't think we'll be able (or want) to spend anything near that. Which as I said, shows what we're up against.

Tbh I didn’t realise that was the season they went up, I knew they spent big but I thought it was after the first season, most the players the purchased flopped aswell like that rhian brewster mcbernie ect

I know it's not surprising, but for a team that's just been confirmed as champions and are playing at home before the trophy lift this atmosphere is wank. Even without the jeopardy the place should be bouncing.

They've won it so many times it's probably got boring for them. Still at least the Prem isn't like all those other non competitive leagues

Was messaging one of my Man City supporting mates and they said they're still not used to them being good which I absolutely wasn't having.

I really don’t see how the competition has been “destroyed”….Seems to be as enjoyable as ever, and certainly more popular.

I disagree - there’s been plenty of competition to Man City. The fact that a team of their quality is routinely being pushed to the last handful of games/days of the season for the title is a sign of the PL’s strength, not its weakness.

Yeah, Man City hardly walked away with it this season. Arsenal just ran out of steam.

Spurs and Chelsea are usually much stronger, but have been basket cases this year and you would have to think that Newcastle may well be up their challenging next season.

And the way it’s been achieved means most clubs need a tycoon to join the party. Then when said tycoon gets bored look what happens.

For the league cup final radio 5 covered it like it was Man Utd vs the plucky underdogs from Newcastle. I was so happy when Man Utd won & have no liking for any teams bankrolled by dodgy middle East States or wealthy businessmen. FIFA/UEFA/PL really need to enforce proper ffp rules to make the PL & CL more competitive

Man City. What a bore. They had the money to build a new stadium, recruit one of the best managers in the world, and a blank chequebook. No player wants to leave City as they won't get paid more any where else. I know Football can never really be a level playing field but their dominance has come from money, and just that. Liverpool and Arsenal have not got anywhere near the resources City have but have pushed them close over the last few seasons. You get anomalies like Chelsea this season who spent loads but managed it terribly, but I just can't seem to get excited or appreciate City's achievements based on the above. Their constant breaking of financial fair play rules means nothing when you have the best lawyers to get you out of it. Didn't like them when they were cr*p, and dislike them either more now. At least Man Utd and Liverpool's dominance of English football wasn't just about how much money they had.

The problem is, FFP rules are currently set up to maintain the status quo, and to discourage competition.

Of course I will back us. I am talking about businessman worth many billions like Abramovic who see a PL club as a plaything.

Well that worked well in this league didn’t it? All it encourages is clubs who haven’t got tycoons to gamble what they don’t have.
