I actually did a bit of research into the 1936-37 league title win a couple of years ago to see if there were any dramatic circumstances then. I was disappointed to find that we clinched it with a game still to play!We won on the last day in 1968 and have also had lots of last day promotions. Without checking I suspect no other club has had so many last day dramas. You can also include some relegations. Watching City for 60 years has been bloody fantastic.
Also not likely to win the league. Not next season anyway.No Oscar Bobb
It seems they see an opportunity to build a dominating squad for years to come, increasing their revenue and fan base as a result unfortunately. Maybe think we are not going to get back to where we were and Pep will not be here too much longer.Look, I hate the dippers as much as anyone on here. However, I think you are overlooking the players they have brought in since last season. They are doing what we didn't do after our last title, and that is to bring in top quality players. We now have brought in those player's, but to not acknowledge how much they have strengthened would be an oversight
I'm not sure I'd be that pessimistic about it mate. We have an amazing squad overall, yes we need to address the right back conundrum, but generally speaking I'd back us to go toe to toe with anyone. But yes, we definitely should have done what they're doing now when we were at the summit. Seems strange really that such a well oiled machine (pardon the pun) as we are, we failed to do that. I genuinely believe that the charges stopped us from being able to do it, obviously something has now changed, either they know the outcome of the charges and it's now all go again, or the club literally had no choice but to push on regardless rather than risking being left behind by other teams.It seems they see an opportunity to build a dominating squad for years to come, increasing their revenue and fan base as a result unfortunately.

Nope we wont. Victims showing that strengthening while on top is vital. We became arrogant
I’d put our squad against theirs and in most positions we match them a few they are better a few we are. Think we’ll be close especially if we sort right back out.It seems they see an opportunity to build a dominating squad for years to come, increasing their revenue and fan base as a result unfortunately.

That’s fair, but we do need a couple of world class/promising players and need to change tactics from geriatric to more PSG.I’d put our squad against theirs and in most positions we match them a few they are better a few we are. Think we’ll be close especially if we sort right back out.
We have them , and PSG tactics aren’t very different to ours were before last season,with our aging squad.That’s fair, but we do need a couple of world class/promising players and need to change tactics from geriatric to more PSG.
Can't argue about players the dippers have brought in, but you are missing the point that city have not only recruited new players, we have a raft of players returning from from injuries that were badly missed last season.Look, I hate the dippers as much as anyone on here.

Who cares if hes not here much longer. The club will be fineIt seems they see an opportunity to build a dominating squad for years to come, increasing their revenue and fan base as a result unfortunately.

Fuckin hell I wasn't that pessimistic when we were in the 3rd tier in 98/99Not a chance we are winning the league next season. The shocking recruitment since the treble has left us with a squad not capable of a title challenge.
The majority of the £400m signings since January won’t even be in the starting 11 on the first game of the season, some won’t even be on the bench.
Rodri could take months to get back to anything close to his best - the thought of Trafford being number 1 and joining with no pre season with us is mind boggling and not sorting a right back out is negligence.
Looking forward to the new season but it’s gonna be a top 4 challenge.
Did you really say that ?Who cares if hes not here much longer. The club will be fine
Many care and will make the most of his last 2 years ,thanks.Who cares if hes not here much longer. The club will be fine
Yes i did. Im not in the pep cult. When he leaves it aint overDid you really say that ?
The last two FA Cup finals have been there for the taking.Maybe some Cityitis lingering from last season.
I think you are right that at least the club knows they cannot defer the changes regardless of the charges.
I have no doubt we can beat anyone but our best squad deserved to win more CL but only managed the one, and this seems to be a key objective.
Would like a few more FA cups too.
