Are City really ruining football?

[solley attwell]

It's not bad for football but it's bad for the 'product'.
How many plastic rags have cancelled subscriptions to sky and BT in the last 10 years. Super Sundays are ruined. Who wants to see lickle Ciddy romp to the league. Replicate this right across Asia, Africa and America and the Premier league will get worried as they won't get the same deal for rights to games as they did before. Then watch football eat itself

Not sure if serious, but will presume so.

So your definition of well stocked is including Sterling, a player out of form for around eighteen months and making it clear through various leaks he wanted to leave and up until the last couple of months showing no signs of regaining that form. So, then Grealish is at the same time available for yes a British transfer record fee of 100 million, he can play in various positions as has been shown with where he has been chosen to play (there may be some disagreement how effective he is in some of those positions such as the false 9) we buy for 100m and can almost guarantee we recoup at least 50m back if we sold Sterling, that is distorting the competition and not actual looking after our own team and forward planning?

Chelsea and united bought a forward when very well stocked in that area, are they also distorting the competition? liverpool, if Salah does not sign a new contract will more than likely buy a new forward on the presumption they will sell Salah, they may even buy one anyway if it looks like he definitely will not sign, also distorting the competition?

Read some nonsense on here, but the exact path we follow is constant planning and evolution of the team and waiting for the right players when they become available, not you though, just wing it and only buy if and when needed, no plan, sounds like the ultimate success story! FFS.

Players lose form every now and then. We cannot be buying players just to cover loss of form. Yes, Sterling has been poor for 18 months, but so what we had Foden there already as first choice, and Sterling as backup squad player. Is that a position that we needed to spend British transfer record on ?
If Sterling was certain to leave, then I understand somewhat, but it doesn't look like so.

Do Chelsea have 3 players for 1 position ? United's forwards are at the end of their careers, and came cheap.

How come no one mentioned all this "ruining football" when the rags won it 13 times in the first 21 years of the competition, 7 out of the first 9 and when they won it 3 years in a row on two different occasions? Because I didn't hear a fucking thing.

I waited 46 years to see my club start having a sustained period of winning trophies and i luv it!

If the media, commentators, critics and jealous fans of other teams don't like it, i don't care, they can fucking do one!

CITY, CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!!

Not a chance that we are ruining football. At least the Premier League is more competitive than most leagues across the world. Take for example the Bundesliga in Germany, pure Bayern domination although have they ever been questioned for ruining football? No. Of course they haven't because its how most leagues work. At least over here we have teams that give big teams a good run for their money like Newcastle drawing with United or West Brom beating Chelsea 5-2 last season. Its all a product of media bias towards the usual 'big clubs' and when a big money power comes along who begins to win they don't like it. So to answer the question, no we aren't ruining football.

If you were to win the EPL every year for the next 25 years, then football would become boring but it’s daft to suggest you’re ruining football. You’re in the ascendancy atm but that won’t last. All empires come to an end so my advice is to enjoy it while it lasts. From my perspective, I can’t help but admire the style of football you play…certainly better than the death machine play of Chelsea under Mourinho when they were on top.

in the last 10 years, there can hardly have been better players than Aguero and Silva and the league was better for it. I wish Arsenal was at your level now and if they were, I’d revel in it not be a moaning Minnie.

Christ, if you watched us then you should know by now that players don’t have just one position each, except maybe Eddie, and that’s only because we’d get accused of something else if we played him outfield.

Yes. Who wants to watch that fancy shite we play. I want to see the ball hoofed up the pitch to the fast lad up front and scoring off corners.

In a four-four-fuckin-two formation….no passing across the width of the area either, which I was taught as a ten year old, no wonder I was shite!

Always.

Are we ruining football? I sincerely hope so.
