    £1M on Trevor Francis wasn't it?

    Which then was a lot of money.

    So what you're saying is we sold and used that money to improve the team?

    I agree, that is slightly different to fsg putting a billion+ into the playing staff over a few years.

    I would've thought utd fans of all fans would be feeling the success of oil city the most tbh what with them being your local rivals and the fact you've done nothing for years while theyve purchased all before them.

    They've basically paid to replace you.

    And You guise cool are with that?

    In fairness, Clough spent the money they won from winning the league on one player ... Trevor Francis ... but the first game he was eligible for in the European Cup was actually the final ...

    ... but I was mainly just looking to wind Sucksta up tbf <laugh>

    My view on this is not knee jerk mate.

    If you fired up a game of FM21, went in the editor and gave Tel FC 300m every summer and ten years later Tel FC is winning the cl you'd call that cheating.

    Whats the difference from that and City, psg, chavs.

    <laugh> ...

    ... and PSG and Citeh have been throwing money at it for over a decade and still haven't won it ... of course having the money to buy the best players gives you a better chance of winning stuff ... as Liverpool, United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern have proven for the last 40 years ... it was never a 'level playing field' ... but I'm not going to cry because a few new kids have joined the 'loadsa money' cartel ... :bandit:

    You wouldn't mate cos you have no connection with the magic of actually doing something in that comp.

    Bitter works both ways <whistle>

    We won the title with a squad that cost 220k Sucksta ... club from the place where I was born ... not one I adopted coz they were winning stuff and had the money to maintain their dominance to make me feel like a G <laugh>.... either historically minted like Pool and United or newly minted like Chelsea and Citeh have always attracted the fanboys ...

    ....bitter only working the one way mate ... <cheers>

    I'm obviously missing something here, but I'm not sure the point you are trying to make. If it's about money, the entire Premier League was built on money, obscene shhite loads of it. So to call out other people or teams is slightly hypocrytical.

    Not a pop at Man U when I say this, but merely because I watched Maguire play in L1, when anyone can spend that sort of money on a player it just makes the financial side of football a total joke. I remember when we sold Gazzaniga for around £1M....we got him for NOTHING, he didn't have a penny to his name.

    So I see both ends of the spectrum and it's what we all have bought into over the last three decades.

    My points real easy to spot.

    City not too long ago were a nothing club doing nothing.

    As we're the chavs.

    Then they got bought by really rich owners who have pumped endless amounts into them to buy success. Which they have.

    The prem shouldve nipped that kind of ownership in the bud after the chavs went all galacticos, buying fukin everything and everyone. Some purchases under moureen were directly to weaken rivals and not to strengthen the chavs. Swp being one they bought and sat on the bench from day one.

    Apparently The 4 teams left in the cl have all been under investigation for financial doping in the last few years.

    Utd are rich cos they won **** through thier history. With that comes prestige and players wanting to go to your club.

    What made robinho go to city all those years ago? Wasn't the fuking prestige of playing for City was it <laugh> now look at em after chucking money at it for ten years they will probs go on to dominate the prem for years to come And possibly Europe too.

    See how we all feel in 10years when city have won the prem 14 years on the trot. <whistle>

    YOU along with all fans that subscribe to SKY and BT and all the rest, created this. So you can't really now shout this is unfair.

    It's not anyone's fault that Liverpool are shhite this year, and everyone is laughing at them, trying to hide it behind some financial insecurity you have is quite embarrassing.
