Net Transfer Spending Over The Last 10 seasons - City 2nd (Behind United 1st)

Can someone do a ‘cost per trophy’ comparison too?
main aim of a team is to win trophies … isnt it ?

Was going to but it is fairly easy to see, i did do a total spend for resident Managers per domestic trophy, Klopp came out the biggest spender per domestic trophy, then Ole took over now it is back to Klopp. Pep comes out quite well.
 
City's success depends on massive spending but that is how almost every league title has always been won and the Premier League is structured in a way that the club at the top gets the most money and therefore stays there if it is well managed.

The Premier League was created to stratify it and City get criticised for playing the game perfectly. Ferguson's Man Utd did this for 20 years. He was lauded. City spend massively and we are criticised. Those who say that the Sheikh is underwriting it are prejudiced idiots. He clearly isn't. Sheikh Mansour started it all off. He pushed the boulder to the the top of the mountain, and over the other side and now we go downhill and we have to mess it up to go wrong. We are in a virtuous circle at the moment thanks to the ring fenced structure of this league. Give thanks to Fergie, and David Gill and the legion of pathetic journalists who let all this happen 30 years ago because they said nothing.

We knew then that Utd's success was bought. No one was interested in our criticism then. They are Utd, they are the biggest and the best. City are the best now. We are the biggest financially, and our fanbase will continue to grow as the trophies mount up. My worry is that the character of City's fanbase will change when the old fans who are the bedrock of City die. Slowly we will pass away, and then City will become Man utd.
 
In today's (11/5) Telegraph sports section there is a piece on the Harling transfer and it's implications for Liverpool in particular in future seasons. The author, journo Chris Bascombe, states - "Nothing more succinctly demonstrates the uneven playing field in this and the next Premier League title fight than City confirming the £213m package for Erling Haaland, while Liverpool fret over the futures of their prized duo because of salary expectations."
The hapless Bascombe, not one of the most reliable of sports writers, chooses to ignore published transfer and wage costs quoted in this thread and from reliable sources such as Swiss Ramble. These clearly show wages at City, MU, Chelsea and Liverpool similar in the £315m-350m range annually. Hardly an uneven playing field.
City certainly are big spenders, but not to the extent the unfortunate Bascombe infers.
The Telegraph readership deserves better journalism.

The longer these hacks continue with this delusion about our finances the worse it will be for them. The Haaland figures have been briefed out. They are £81m transfer fees and agents' fees. The salary is arund £18m per year. Did they think we were not going to eventually sign a replacement for Sergio? The Haaland fee is covered by the sale of Feran Torres. Why is Bascombe (a Liverpool fan) lying about the figures? The Telegraph sports team have made fools of themselves in recent months with their biased coverage. Vergil Van Dyke is much more expensive then Haaland.
 
Not sure how well known it is in England, but Fenway Group are notorious here in the states for being cheap over the past decade with their baseball team. As a Red Sox fan for baseball, they are a horrid ownership to get behind at the moment. They have been bailed out numerous times by sheer luck, while having an amazing coach fall into their lap (just like Klopp).

3 seasons ago they did not want to re-negotiate a new contract with the 2nd best player in baseball at the time (Mookie Betts), a year coming off winning the championship. Instead, interesting enough, they let the new Chelsea owner take him off their hands as he proceeded to win another championship for his new team.

Two completely different sports, but it’s amazing how these two teams have completely mirrored each other under the same ownership.

Pool aren’t broke, it’s how they run their teams across all avenues. Stop crying wolf.

I'm sure the DT will correct the record when Salah signs his shiny new contract on the same money as Erling!

And if Liverpool extend the contracts or Salah Mane that will add to there wage bill similar to Haarlands wages
