All the modern clubs are doing is repeating the process (with foreign owners 😬) That's why I am impressed with Moyes at West Ham. Hes not exactly short of money, but not to the extent the foreign owned clubs have. Would Leicester be in the top 4 without the Thai King Power money? Probably not. They might still be in the Championship. My English club has always been Middlesborough. Used to go there every second weekend when i lived in Catterick as a boy. My friend came from Middlesborough and we would get a bus, bus, trai, bus to his Grannies for lunch before going to Ayresome Park. Steve Gibson invested a lot of his own money in the club and they did reasonably well, but once the foreign money came in they have taken a dive into Championship mediocrity.

Sort of get where you come from and agree, M. I admire far more the likes of Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal. All built their illustrious history well before the game was saturated with money. Built on all the organic things in football. In comparison, the City’s etc... were nowhere near these clubs generally. Even with the early days of Sky coming into the game during the 90s most teams had still been built more modestly at the time before the cash rolled.

Taffin Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Foden is a wonderful player but the commentators and commentary/texts on the BBC coverage really over do it. Should have scored on 3 occasions. Against a better team, or a PSG with their best player...that could have cost City.
