Not going to click on it but if that graphic is correct doesn't it basically show that it has cost us 15% more spend than our rival to go from a standing start light years behind with the deck stacked against us to being utterly dominant?

You can have a separate conversation about the obscene amount of money in football but that just seems to be a tale of an incredible turnaround story and an unbelievably well run club.

Yep. If those figures are accurate the spend by the rags and Chelsea is incredible given the position of both in 2008. But that angle does not generate clicks.

So we must surely always mark him as a 'sex-case'* until proven otherwise?

Edited for accuracy.

To be fair to BBC they're doing a cracking item about Mr whippy supporting a charity that helps disabled people.

Lol. Well get rid of this ffp bollox then and let any team catch us and any other rich club up! How is it our fault that we spend our money better than the others? Let teams like sheff weds, Blackburn etc dream of doing what we’ve done. They have 0% chance under the current rules

It strikes a different tone to Twitter – the medium that seems to dominate football debate – where fans defend their club in staunch tribalism, insisting with blind faith that this isn’t about rules and regulations but everyone being out to get them. Some of this has seeped into the real life of the Etihad Stadium, where I have witnessed fans shout horrific abuse at journalists who have dared to ask questions of City’s ascent.

He can't be serious.

I am pretty sure I have witnessed "journalists" writing horrific abuse of the club, it's owner, board, management and fans on a daily basis over the last fifteen years simply because they have dared to challenge the "history" clubs. The tragedy here is that the tribalism he is concerned about has seeped into mainstream sports journalism.

Tosser.

I wonder why he waited until Saturday the 10th June, to write this diatribe?
