Even better if we are champions again this year, having chased down Arsenal to add to Liverpool and ManU.

The red shirt USA owned hegemony will be well and truly broken along with numerous records along the way.

They will all be rubbing their hands and hoping beyond hope they all get given them at a later date!

Thanks for posting that, intelligent comments all round, Drury's comments were quite refrshing.

The difference is astounding

Almost as good as the United and Liverpool forums, who are now peddling the narrative of our supposed guilt putting no legitimacy on any Treble we achieve.

All the same, it will be good for football, because the penny will finally drop that we are bad for it and making a mockery of everyone else.

Can I just place on record my thanks, for two clubs trying to save the English game, having led and conspired to Create the Super League.

I particularly like their assertions that we are winning in an era where the competition isn't up to scratch, despite having to attain 100 and 98 points to get over the line and having won five of our recent six titles on the final day of the season...

The United and Liverpool forums are very toxic places they are basically made up of people who only started following because the teams were successful, now they are not what have they got left? It's quite sad seeing a bunch of grown men losing their shit over something they have and will never have control of

The media will do all they can now to dial up the 'treble' rhetoric, therefore increasing the pressure and it being seen as a failure if it doesn't happen, which people will believe and then use a stick to beat us with.

Quotes Abu Dhabi appalling human rights.whilst ignoring Saudi. Nation oil state owns City, spent “billions” “two first team squads”. The woman is a fraud, do your research you stupid fucker.

Also, Purslow against the fan led review and an independent Governing body which we are backing, she doesn’t take him to task on that.

Insidious interview to pander to the US red shites.

Fucking sick of the absolute lies being repeated ad infinitum about our Club, two teams, biggest spenders, oil money, cheats, etc etc.

Chelsea have spent over £600m on players and Frank’s win percentage at Chelsea is 0%. Now I k ow it’s only a few games but it’s not easy marrying money to a talented squad, it’s about the way the team is built and managed and reflects the superb governance of the club as a football entity.

A non competitive era? We have two recent champions league winners in the Premier League in Liverpool and Chelsea. We also have a recent finalist in Spurs, we also have one of the most highest profile sporting organisations in the world with vast amounts of turnover in the rags.

What other league has that type of competition? There’s only two teams in La Liga and Bayern have lorded it over the rest of Germany for years. The majority of the Premier League teams have higher revenues And turnover than the most of the teams in the champions league.

United’s early competitors during the beginning of the Premier League were Norwich and Villa followed by a flash in the pan by Blackburn and Newcastle tried but did nothing. They only got competition when Wenger turned up and then Abramovich bought Chelsea, they literally had nearly the first decade of the Premier league unopposed and had the luxury of a one team champions league for extra money. How many trophies would City have had if we had those conditions to compete in.

... surely not the motive behind them lobbying the PL to bring FFP charges against City? I thought these clubs did things the right way and believed in organically driven success on merit ...

To paraphrase Khaldoon, City cannot be held responsible for the short comings of other clubs and the way they are run.

 

[domalino]

I haven’t listened to the guardian for near 10 years but considering listening to it.

Barry Glendenning does go on about the elephant in the room (PL charges) complete with sound effect after some City fan wrote in about Liverpools 10/14 title wins and Uniteds 8/11, but Nicky Bandini pointed out in reply that our wage bill isn't the highest and people can compete financially.
