I guess it depends on your opinion of the difference between "debt" and "outside investment" and massive unprecedented amounts of money being ploughed into a previously mediocre club in order to ensure they dominate the league.

Debt or investment aside both Manchester clubs have no excuses. They’ve spent more NET than any teams in Europe for the past 3 seasons. Guardiola crying in the media today that he can’t compete is a disgrace.
Net Spend Europe
Plastic b@st@rds, he won the league twice with a record total of 100 and 98 fecking point, baffling..
That will just be magnificent
I think Jack Walker's Blackburn take that mantle for the premiership.
Actually the Blackburn side that won the Premiership in the 1994-95 season cost less then Manchester United's squad in total.
Yes Jack Walker did play a huge role in their success, but it wasn't all down to his money. Being managed by Kenny Dalglish would have been a big factor too.
'https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...23/blackburn-premier-league-title-earned-1995
Quote from the article:
Rovers spent far less than the incumbent champions, Manchester United. Peter Schmeichel, Denis Irwin, Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, Andrei Kanchelskis, Paul Ince, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Brian McClair, Mark Hughes and Andy Cole cost £19.33m.
Whereas Flowers, Henning Berg, Hendry, Ian Pearce, Le Saux, Stuart Ripley, Mark Atkins, Sherwood, Jason Wilcox, Shearer and Sutton set Rovers back a comparatively low £14.7m. Given that these squads – in particular United's – took years to assemble, perhaps a fairer assessment would be to look at the 1994-95 spend in isolation. Even on this basis, United's outlay exceeded their rivals'.
Yes, had nothing to do with Jack Walker pumping millions into a run-of-the-mill club.

Anyway, this is the blue moon thread, so we're veering way off topic.
I agree. We should be competing too but it’s now refreshing to see City fans moaning about players we signed like James and Wan Bissaka.
They are spoilt though they just want a shiny new toy now that their current ones aren’t working. Hopefully Guardiola will go soon or I’d have zero respect for him.
Imagine spending more time at a smaller club than the one you support. Surely he should have stayed at Barcelona longer?! I don’t get the logic in leaving the world class club u support to manage another team other than he’s kissing Abu Dhabi’s backside. The way he acts he’s just padding his own ego at times. Maybe he feels Barcelona is too big of a club to attempt the same since Messi is god in Barcelona not Pep.
I don't get how they call us rags? Are they not the Emptihad council house club, that were in the wilderness for like 100 years up until the Sheiks came along? Buffoon's.
That is interesting to see, but of course it's again the difference between a team's earnt money and a moneyman.
I'll always think of that 5m Sutton transfer as being the one that really accelerated the transfer market in England, as after that you soon had Cole 7m and Collymore 8.5m
It’s to do with when Old Trafford was bombed during the Second World War and we had to ground share. Apparently we also didn’t have the money for kits at that time so we were wearing ‘rags’ instead.
Stay classy City.
Wow that’s almost as bad as the aeroplane gestures.. Once Pep goes we’ll have the last laugh, it’s coming you illiterate dole seekers not long now..
Indeed
And once he stopped pumping money in they soon went back to where they were the day before he took over.
If city had to stand on their own two feet they would be a mid to lower PL team.
You gotta love those Berties.

City fans are mental criticising Pep
How long before they all move on and start supporting Liverpool?
You mean the ones that haven't already?
The sheen from his bald head is definitely fading. A few of the City fans coming to terms with the circle of life and the potential ending of an era.
Worst substitution? He clearly doesn't remember the likes of Vassell for Samaras subs that they used to make. All world class players, I swear.
We've already got our own fair share of idiots. We don't need any from City thanks
They probably criticised Jose when they were Chelsea fans too.
Having a 'Top Blue' competition.
"Life is suffering"
Watching the cracks open up in their 'empire' should make the next 18 months pretty entertaining.
It's embarrassing how entitled they've become. They are literally where they are because of a rich sheikh from the UAE. Pep Guardiola probably didn't even know there was another team in Manchester before 2008/09.
They've got one of the best managers the world has ever seen and still not happy. We'll fecking have him then. He can join an actual big club not a fake plastic one.

They have become very arrogant lately. Wasn't so long ago they was claiming to be the best football side on the planet with the best manager, best GK, best striker, best midfielder etc etc
Everytime they lose its an agenda, it's VAR against them, its the refs being Lpool or Utd fans, its the other team not letting them win
Tiresome as feck. Fact is this, City are not the side they once were. Like ourselves. Pep is a top manager but opposition managers are starting to learn how to beat him. And City's squad needs freshening up big time, they'll go mad in the summer, as i think my club will, and Utd

"Life is suffering"
A Buddhist interpretation can be helpful for coping with bad football results.
"Life is sufffering"
What are they, Meeseeks? Existence is pain......

The one calling for sterling out must be an undercover United fan on a WUM. Surely to feck

Feck me Bravo has to be the worst keeper to ever play in the prem. if you shoot and its on target its a goal simple as that. Has he ever made a save? At least 2 of wolves goals were easy saves for DDG.
And Mendy - what the hell. Embarrassing defending.
Well done city handing the scousers the title in a whimper.
