Manchester City are football's vampire squid - sucking up talent and leaving rivals running scared

Capturing Erling Haaland's signature is an astounding coup, but any temptation to perceive romance in the move should be resisted

If they aren't hating us we aren't winning.

An extract:

Any temptation to perceive romance in this move should be resisted. Haaland’s choice of City has been made, as Barcelona manager Xavi acknowledges, “primarily for financial reasons – I have no doubt about that”. The upshot is that the intensity of competition for titles is in grave danger of being diminished.

Liverpool are barely living with City’s standard domestically as it stands. They ended their campaign in 2019 with nine straight wins and lost by a point. This time, they have suffered two defeats all season, the fewest of any club besides Arsenal’s Invincibles, Chelsea’s runaway champions in 2005, and their own 2019 campaign, and are still likely to miss out.

With the introduction of Haaland, City are poised to make any hope of a sustained challenge a delusion, rendering the Premier League as predictable as a Bundesliga that Bayern Munich have won 10 years in a row. They will legitimately depict Haaland’s addition as an astounding coup. But for anybody hoping to quell the raids of the nouveau riche, this is not a moment to be cherished.

From his previous articles, he's clearly a Liverpool fan

My particular favourite is to point out that the only reason that their club exists is that Everton refused to pay a huge rent increase at anfield to a rich Tory who simply formed lfc out of his own pocket in what must be the biggest act of sugar daddying (if such a word exists) and financial doping.

That is a fantastic bit of football history trivia, I will be using that one heavily in the future, thank you.

That's right. And why were the rules changed again? Oh yes, that was the year it looked like United were going to break them.

You’d thought Jordan the mouth piece of all knowledge would do a bit research! Making himself look an even more a dumb know nowt fuckwit. Pity Sinclair is similar he should do some research too if he did he could show him tell Jordan there was a way to slow strangle wages but the bloke who rushed in ffp in 2013 to stop clubs like Man City just pulled that rule out without an iota of reporting in the media.
