Manchester City Millions Ruin Football

apart from the fact that this benefits spurs rather than us.

I agree that it's not Manchester City's fault. I'm just calling for a bit of reasoning here. For years, ourselves, City supporters, Arsenal supporters etc took the piss out of Chelsea for "buying trophies" and that they wouldn't be anywhere without money because they were a medium sized club compared to the likes of Arsenal.

This now applies to Manchester City, who, if we're being honest, isn't even the biggest club in Manchester.-- Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:04 pm --

at least City are spending money on good players, Liverpool are spending money on pure shjt...

Yep you're right - Gareth Barry, Jolean Lescott, Gael Clichy and Savic would get into any team in Europe.

Just to point out, you bin dipping, deluded own fan killing twat. We are the only club IN Manchester!!!

If it were not for 'rich owners' the Premiership would have been won EVERY year apart from 3 by Manchester United. How is that good for the game?

Would you be referring to Arsenal there? The club where a director gave them £50m for team building when they were mid-table in the mid-90's? Make that apart from none.

Not heard about that. I remember them spending big on Platt and Bergkamp under Rioch but not £50m. I'm not saying your wrong but would you care to expand on the point.

If it wasnt for rich owners United wouldnt have achieved half the success they have over the years.

I doubt there is a club in the league that hasnt benefited greatly from.a benefactor at one time or another, not United, not Spurs, not Arsenal, certainly not Liverpool. It appears that many of these supporters that bang on about their clubs fsntastic 'istree, don't actually know too much about it themselves.

I think I wrote about it on the blog last month.

This is what a lot of City fans seem to think, that we're jealous of your money. We're not in any way. Your stadium is still half empty every other week. There's still no atmosphere at the COMS. Your supporters even copy another clubs celebration when your team scores. Whenever I go on holiday, I still see Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal shirts in many bars and resorts. Not a City one in sight.

I'd never trade our history, reputation and honours for oil money. Never.

So you campaigned vigorously in favour of selling to Hicks & Gillett and against DIC I assume?

Save your fingers and stave off the RSI PB as i've asked the question twice and he isn't for answering.

History eh...we were founded before LFC
we won a european trophy before them
we won the FA cup before them
we won the league cup before them

and our record attendance is 84,509
compared to the scousers 61,905

looks like we have a bit of history afrer all

This.

Deluded scousers, all they have is to talk about 'istree because their club is a fucking shambles

That Stevie G fella certainly got everyone worked up there didn't he. I thought it would just be best to ignore him, as it was so fucking obvious what he was up to - and he certainly achieved his aim.

So are you saying that City would be challenging for honours now without oil money?

No, saying Liverpool wouldn't have been where they were without the Moores.

Its like saying where would you be right now if agent shankly hadnt turned up!! Youve bought some very mediocre British players aswell and spent plenty of money to build title challenging sides in the 1980s! You are a very jealous man my friend and a very hypocritical one to!! Would you really like me to go on about your loony bin of a city or the mass murder committed by fans of liverpool football club at Heysal! Plenty of istreee and tradition there isnt there! What about your empty seats when hodgson was in charge you only got like 35000 for some league games thats 10000 of capacity!! Fickle as fuck that considering your spoilt fans have had nothing but success for the last 30 years or so! Just no justice in football at all is there!!
