The thing is, we haven't 'bought' the title, in its truest sense. We've provided investment which will help us to win the title, but it still has to be won. There is still a job there that needs doing.
We've seen teams spend vast sums of money and come up short, we've seen others spend vast sums and dominate for years.
Just because every team that has won the title has needed a lot of money, doesn't mean that every team with a lot of money has won the title.
Look at Liverpool, they spent more than us last Summer and they're looking even worse than they were the year before. Yes, we've evened the playing field. Yes, we've become a part of a select group of teams able to compete at the top. Yes, we are currently at the top and looking strong for our investment. None of that, however, means that it has become a 'null' competiton. There's nothing empty about winning with a lot of financial backing, because when all is said and done, no matter how much money you put out there, it's about whether the 11 men on the pitch can do the job.
We all know it's the system that's broken, and that is no fault of ours. So it's either put up with it and try to win the only way we can, or... the alternative? Not bothering with football at all. I know I couldn't live without City, so I'll sit here and give them that support and hope we keep winning, because it is not as much of a foregone conclusion as people seem to think.
