I've had a soft spot for City in the past, and don't begrudge you your money and shot at breaking into the top 4, especially if you become top dogs in Manchester, but surely you can see the detrimental effect this kind of obscene spending will have on the game as a whole, especially as you'll eventually end up paying through the nose for it.
Sorry but that's garbage,you bought the best players in the country for fuckin years.a world of difference between us wanting long term financial stability and to compete at the top end of the market, and spending upwards of 130 million quid on one player
How much for a Dalglish,Barnes,etc these days.
The Moores Family - Liverpool - £1,160m that's from before he sold out to the Yanks,long term stability my arse.
I haven't got a problem with Liverpool but if what you say is typical of what scousers think then you are hypocrites.
Unlucky.Dominic Fifield The Guardian, Monday 4 December 2006 Article historyLiverpool are on the verge of a new era after the chairman and majority shareholder, David Moores, granted Dubai International Capital permission to undertake due diligence in anticipation of a £450m takeover of the Anfield club.
Moores and his chief executive, Rick Parry, have granted DIC, a company owned by Dubai's ruling Maktoum family, the exclusive right to study the club's books despite rival propositions drawn up by, among others, the US businessman George Gillett Jr - formerly owner of the Harlem Globetrotters - and the Belfast-based construction tycoon John Miskelly.
Although the finer details of any deal with DIC will only become clear once due diligence has been carried out, it is understood that Moores has agreed to drop his initial valuation of the club to about £170m. That will see him accept about £4,500 a share - rather than £6,000 - with his majority 51% stake to be diluted.
The Moores family has been involved with Liverpool since the 1950s and, rather than sever ties completely, Liverpool's chairman of 15 years is expected to be given an honorary role under the new regime. Parry may remain as chief executive, particularly given his heavy involvement in attempting to move the club to a new stadium in Stanley Park. Neither chairman nor chief executive will be on the flight to Istanbul today for the Champions League tie against Galatasaray.
No formal announcement of a takeover is anticipated before Christmas but Liverpool's three-year search for new money appears to be drawing to a successful conclusion. In that time they have courted potential investment from parties as diverse as the Kraft family and Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister of Thailand.
DIC's chief executive, Samir al-Ansari, claims to be a supporter of the club but the company, although it has independent status, is ultimately owned by the Maktoums. They are willing to fund the £200m construction of a 60,000-seat stadium and will cover the club's long-term debts - about £80m - but it remains to be seen whether Rafael BenÃtez will benefit in the January transfer market.
On Stony (Philip Hennessy) post.
Well argued Philip. I would add, that not even a blink when Ronaldo wrote off his ferrari, how much money was that £200k. The great fear is that this dominance threatens the Sky monopoly, and cosy top 4 who are buddied up to Sky, as is the FA. The rest knows what it means, a new order and they fear this, hence the why would Kaka play for a team like City comments.
They may get used to it and "Arab guy" is just a disrepectful RACIST comment, I hope the FA take action to STAMP OUT RACISM, that is action not words.
Good article, well thought through and presented.

Does no-one else understand that all this money is staying within the game, AC will be able to spend where they like, then those clubs benefit. The money is an investment in a game and a business, and all funds will stay within the game as it will be spent somewhere down the line and distributed between the selling clubs, hence making them all richer!!

if your in a decent job you get a car on finance.......if your a millionaire you buy a ferrari.........if your a multibillionaire you buy a football club and pump a shit load of money into it.
my point being everything is in proportion, bacon face and wenger think its bad for the game.....yes correct, from their point of view because they dont have the money.
every fucker has had a dig at us this week, but i cant wait for the day where i can stick 2 fingers up at them, and that day is coming sooner than they think.
premier league or not the fans will be there, billions or no billions the fans will be there, kaka or no kaka the fans will be there. The soul will be ripped out of this club they all say, i say bollocks to them, this is manchester city, our city.
