They use it as a stick to beat us with,we should win because we have spent so much money,it's never we should win because we are playing great football,it's the tone and words that none of the other english team get

But surely that puts us in the same position of say PSG or RM or Barca. Other maybe richer PL clubs are not viewed as that good yet so their progress towards our level must be monitored in order to plot their progress towards us.

They have effectively decided we are of that quality because we ought to win. I'm quite happy for them to concede our superiority because of our investments.

You are missing the point,every other word of the build up and commentary is about our money and they don't do that for any other team,they don't base their remarks on madrid,rags or barca's money,it's not in a nice way they use ours,it's every game,every paper every news channel,maybe you just don't understand as you don't live here

Fair enough Karen but if they are talking about our money then they must be talking about our players and the manager because thats where our money is. It has been invested.
Our money has been earned via football just as much as United or Chelsea so misrepresenting that as still using our owners investment phase money is incorrect I agree.

Perhaps you miss my point that their concentration on our money may suggest we top up our football revenue but anyone with any sense would realise we fund our purchases via football related income.

I cannot help the impression given to BT viewers but seeing our progress on the field of play as being bought is actually something I am proud of and has absolutely nothing to do with continuing subsidies from our owner. If the viewers think otherwise that is their mistake and we will continue to succeed with a Business Plan that made us self sufficient and able to attract our assets because that is where our money is not in the coffers of the shareholders and servicing the debt of heavily mortgaged owners.
 
It was an interesting watch last night for American Blues. The two games Fox chose to televise were of course Liverpool and Spurs, but they did offer the City game on Fox Sports Facebook Live. Stu Holden was one of the commentators, and of course he kept going on and on about money.

They were making it very interactive with the fans because anyone watching was capable of leaving comments on the feed and the commentators and female host were both interacting with the comments.

At halftime, they were discussing our possibilities of going deep in the competition, to which Holden said the semis were a minimum, but laughed off the idea of us getting to a final. Not sure how those two thoughts can really go together. Which is another thing I find so funny with the hatred by the media and fans of other clubs, they are so quick to talk about the money we spend and saying we're buying success, but then hate on us for potentially succeeding with the players we spend big on. You can't have it both ways. The money talk is obviously just a safety net for them to justify our success, saying we should be doing well for what we spent.

Also, he went on to talk about Sterling's deadline day news and even said "he was ready to go to Arsenal before a deal broke down." Myself and others were quick to tell him he didn't know what he was talking about and it was quite funny to see him get worked up and defensive trying to justify what he was saying. That was one of the better spots of them being able to see what we were all saying, a predominantly City-supporting set of viewers.
