The football world if full of hypocrits, a foorball team is like a company,
- You buy an existant company if you feel it has a potentiel, the resason no billionaire or investment group will buy bury FC to turn it into a a top club, City was an opportunity for ADUG thanks to many aspects, those who were hard core behind the team in the premiership are partly to thank
- A Club will need good management and a heavy investment in order to catch up and increase its value and revenues, in the forball world, without money and expanded fan base, you cannot attract or keep your best performing players,
- In the case of PL teams, before every season the morons (supporters and jourous etc) start comparisons between players and most of the times City players are regarded second examples : Kane better than Haaland, Haaland is. Tap in merchant, injury prone, KDB don't show up in ghe biggest games, Ederson a calamity, Rodri slow, Grealish a 100 M flop, Dias no VVD is better than him, John Stones an Evertonian average player, Akanji they don't even talk about him, kyle walker well he has only speed, Laporte error prone and i can continue..
Guardiola is a fraud, City withall money it cannot win a CL
But when City win, then suddenly, money bags, 2 squads, money, FFP, my grandma can manage this team, City has these magical players who costs more than 50M€....
So it is a non ending drama, the only things matters is that the club grow, the revenues goes up, the same playing philosophy to continue, it started with Mancini and is continuing with Guardiola
At the end the whole City investment costed less than buying Chelsea
