Last when I read this piece by Stuart Berenen ( Manchester City buying glory? Now that's rich! :
http://1.only.ag/K13dq4 ) I thought he was turning Blue ... but now reading this that he published just today (
Why Manchester City’s critics are hit and myth http://1.only.ag/JiVhkg ) really confirms it!

Another story today, this time from The Telegraph:

I dont believe this is excellent at all. I think he was just bored, sat down and added up 3 years books, and threw in what is basically a 'nasty old City' story ahead of our biggest match for 44 years. However this paragraph below is a little sensible, and I'm not sure how these clubs carry on after FFP, once the big transfer revenues that keep them afloat are eliminated. Mind you an owner could always come in and spend loads of dosh winning the league, and hope the Euro thing sorts itself out. No restriction in the league from FFP.
"It may make alarming reading for fans of Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Everton and West Ham United, whose clubs have spent significantly more than they have earned."

I find this tactic hugely effective
Listen very carefully to all the points they make, perhaps tilt your head slightly to one side and nod occasionally to demonstrate that you fully understand
Then stick your face as close as you can and scream. WAAAAAAA WAAAAAAA WAAAAAA

A bitter Arsenal fan who is brought on Talkshite every week by piss pot Brazil and the failed cricketer Irani who think that everything he says is real.
He stated the scum were actually better off with the debt and could afford to spend £70mil a year on players>

^The Reds are literally swarming the City Facebook page all of a sudden.
As for the OP, thanks for posting this. I am going to link to this everytime my IRL pals start complaining about "City buying titles".

You know, the most telling statistic on that entire article is the fact that the Rags spent £6.75mil on Pallister, Webb, Phelan, Ince and Wallace. This was BEFORE they had even won a league title. I'd like to add Schmeichel into the mix as well. He was the world's most expensive 'keeper when he signed for them in '91, wasn't he?
Now, the fundamental point of all this is that Man Utd "fans" would have you believe that their successes gave them the funds to go out and spend big bucks in the transfer market. Fairy nuff- but where on earth did they get this money prior to '93? An FA Cup success in 1990? The Cup Winners Cup in 91?
The 'holier than thou' crap emanating from their collective orifices makes me sick.
It's very easy to say that Man City have 'bought' the league. In fact, it's a lazy argument. Yes, people will look at the record books in years to come, wonder how Man City got where they are, how they won the league to break the dominance of Man Utd and Chelsea and the simple answer would be; 'ridiculous investment at the behest of a foreign owner'.
However, if you were to look at the kind of money other big clubs have invested, and yet come up wih nothing (Newcastle, Tottenham, Leeds), it's a massive, massive achievement to win the league in spite of what was spent.

Great post mate. Rag fans have short memories.

Maybe that's true but at the end of the day what's wrong with it? As a Liverpool supporter I'm delighted that Man City have won the title today and the way they did it was just incredible. It's not an easy thing to win your first Premier League title regardless of who you're playing. Most exciting thing I've seen in years. I suppose it compares favourably with Liverpool's Champion's League win in 2005.

also, I wouldn't discount the fact that all these 'ridiculous investment at the behest of a foreign owner', are free flowing around English Football, thus benefit all the system.
Plus, it goes without saying... the huge investment on refurbishing Eastlands, relevant jobs created and further bussiness opportunities. I don't recall the same from the Russian and the Trafford development is sooo amateur-esque, as the recent news about Ratface's hotel prove again.
1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City
You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...
In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!
