Isn't it funny that before the Sheik took over at City, the previous 20 years Spurs have had more money than us... and spent more in the transfer market by a long way!
Yet I never heard City fans bleating about it "not being fair".
That's the way of the world. We had to eat shit while the Big 5 (Yeah, remember when you, the rags, Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool) carved up the TV money and gate money to suit yourselves?
Did you think that was "fair"?
Or did you not give a shit because you were getting the benefits of it?
Well... welcome to our world now!
We were never funded by a Sugar Daddy. This level of investment can only be compared to Abramovic. Anyway the Champions League and TV has created this monster in which the only way to remain competitive it would seem or to make the jump into the top four would be a significant investment like you've had.
I personally don't blame City. I don't hold any hatred for you guys nor Chelsea for that matter. It's no longer a level playing field and to be honest it hasn't been since the creation of the Champions League where the cash rewards are so big.
You might not have been funded by a Sugar Daddy, but you had no problems in shafting the rest of football with the introduction of the Premier League, when the "Big 5" decided who was in and who was out.
You even (if rumours are to be believed) formed a cartel where none of you would compete with each other in transfer dealings... you were all shitting it that Jack Walker had "bought" the league (and of course he had no right to upset the Big 5) and so you decided to act together against him.
You carved up the TV dosh, the gate money, you changed the rules... you were unstoppable in your belief that you were the new power brokers in the game.
We had bigger support than you and Everton at the time, but we weren't "invited".
You lot couldn't give a shit then. And I can't give a shit now.
In twenty years time it might all change again. That's the way of the world.
Get used to it.
