Chelsea spend over £200m and get a headline like this...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54056704

Imagine the headlines if City spent over £200m - trying to buy the Premier League and Champions League. It starts the ball rolling for Lampard deserves success rather than Lampard is only a money manager a la Pep!

Not having a go Blue and I agree with what you say and yes it boils my piss to, but I'm just not surprised any more regarding the way other clubs get covered in the press compared to us.

Rui Pintos TRAIL sums the BBC up perfectly.....

For some reason (I can't think why) 'trail' makes me think of the trail of mucus left by a snail.. and those left by our supine, useless sports media as they follow around after their 'Favourites In Red' from Manchester, Liverpool and London to do their bidding..

Please tell me you replied asking them if they’d ever heard of Google? If they have, that as a news organisation, you expect facts to be properly investigated and would therefore know that MCFC isn’t owned by Sheik Mansour, but is I fact owned by CFG, which in turn is owned by 3 different companies?

Also worth noting that under company law SM could take no action in CFG which is detrimental to the interests of the minor shareholders. Given that, and the fact that SM does not own a single share in City, hard to support the influence bit.

Whenever someone in here says he's not too bad....

From the BBC ....Manager Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are a "different club" to some rivals in the transfer window as they are "not owned by countries or oligarchs".
