Definite dig.
I can't believe the degree to which certain clubs essentially turning on cheat-mode has been ignored by the media. I remember when City were initially making their huge investments (before the won anything) there was a definite air of disdain towards them from parts of the media. Since they started winning, no-one seems to question the fact they're owned by a state, or that they broker the world's dodgiest sponsorship deals. Also, that the group that owns them are trying establish football clubs everywhere - how is this not spoken about?? Wenger comes from a time where football was't reliant on billionaire, sole-club owners. I know it sounds hypocritical to bring this up as we were cock of the walk then, but we were up there because the football club, since Fergie's arrival, was run incredibly well, and to that specific end-point. When we sign Sanchez, and everyone in the media questions the price, it's because of decades of success, planning, and running a business well. In other words, earned.
