So iv read the article in the independent posted in here.
Part of me likes the detail and the way it’s written but the problem apart from the agenda against City and panic against us dominating the league. It claims that the reason we are run so well of pitch which affects us on it is down state funding despite FFP. In reality it’s down to copying best practices from outside football in the world of business etc.
Whats more I would argue that certain football clubs have similar models to CFG ( Watford Redbull) and others are so huge revenue streams they could easily copy us in this regard but they don’t because they never needed to or because they weren’t smart enough or because they are too busy now fighting to stay anywhere near the top ( Barcelona ) let alone seeking perfection
He makes out or interchangeable players and highly changed team under Pep is down to money spent yet also admit our spending is in line with Chelsea and United
