The Glazers don't spend the money their executives do. That is where the difference is. The Glazers trusted their man Woodward whereas City appointed Txiki as a football director. The Premier League is structured in such a way that money generates footballing success which generates more money. We're simply reaping the benefit of the system Man Utd created so if you want to deify anyone, it should be Gill and his cronies.

I assume you have completely lost your marbles.
As it goes in the song You signed Phil Jones, we signed Kun Aguero. We know who executes City and Utd's transfer strategy don't we? Once you win the Premier League you have to be incompetent not to challenge for it the next season. That is how Man Utd dominated the league for 20 years. We are doing exactly the same thing now as Swiss Ramble has shown you. We don't need a super clever owner, we need money and a gerrymandered premier league.
And the guys who made the mistakes at man utd weren't the Glazers but those executing their football business.

Just bonkers! Sorry, don't see it like that at all and I won't be worshiping at the shrine of Gill.
You have a huge non sequitur at the heart of your statement which reads "I have money, therefore I win." It is just not true and it certainly does not follow that you can dispense with smart operators.
Swales had money to start with.

Simple: Build or buy?
Building is expensive and time consuming.
Buying is immediate.
This is the best ACTUAL football “franchise” in the world partnering up with one of the best GAMING football “franchises” in the world.
eSports is huge, growing, and in the most desirable global marketing demographic!
“Go where the money is and try to get there early!”
Massive! The rest are being left behind the mighty CFG juggernaut. Now here's the thing: any sponsor on our shirt will be shown to millions across Asia. Hope the little old Premier League has the knowledge to assess the value for money! While MCFC might not benefit directly, what a sell to a potential partner

Not true.
The Glaziers have been good owners, the only issue is they have probably been to easy going and trusted the judgment of the execs/management far too much in the face of obvious incompetence.
Whatever your opinion of Woodward he was exceptional at bringing commercial deals into the club, but in pure footballing terms he was a nightmare and incompetent.
The rags are the victim of a single man (Ferguson) having complete and utter control of a club for 20 years and having no structure in place when he left, the loss of Gill was also a huge loss.
Having money is no guarantee of success, Everton are a classic example of that, 500million spent and a shambles of a club.
