BlackJAC? Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 maybe they'll now realise what money can do. We got horsed due to the gulf in riches and it now seems Spurs are on the receiving end of it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandJambo Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just seen the score will look forward to watching MOTD2 tonight it appears Dzeko has come onto a game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJAC? Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Dzeko has been awesome in his last 4 games. It's never fair to judge a player when he comes in the January window as he has to hit the ground running, whereas summer signings tend to come in at a time when others aren't up to speed themselves.

King of the North Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Surely nobody except City fans can take any pleasure in what this club are doing. Football was already suffering due to the massive gulf between rich clubs and the rest, and all City are doing are widening that gap even further, to a ridiculous degree. The fact that it is now impossible for Arsenal or Spurs to put in a realistic challenge, never mind the next tier down. Not good for football. Hopefully Platini and UEFA can put a dent in City's ambitions, but I doubt they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why some people are up in arms now about City.. good on them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Nobody Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Watched the game and City were in a different class. If they play like that every week they will win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been impossible for clubs who can't buy pretty much anyone they choose to challenge for ages. As it is, however much this contradicts the exasperation I was expressing after Man Utd-Spurs on Monday, the three or four horse race at the top of this season's EPL looks like being bloody exciting: the best title race in living memory IMO. And if Romanov, as he might've done, had decided to buy the title for Hearts, would you have complained about it? Did you complain when we spent year after year spending miles and miles more than we were taking in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do fans keep on making out that it is only recently happened.All the recent great teams were bought.It has been the. Way since the Champions league started.Barcelona are easily the top side now but still the spent 75 million this summer. AC Milan bought wisely for their great sides as well,that's the trick to buy wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC Milan bought wisely for their great sides as well,that's the trick to buy wisely. Because it's a question of degree, benny. When Liverpool or Man Utd 'bought' the title in the distant past by signing many of the best players, wages and transfer fees were a fraction of what they are today. When Jack Walker bought the title for Blackburn, they spent miles, miles and miles less than what Chelsea or Man City do now: just take a look at the personnel in that Blackburn squad, and compare it with the top EPL squads now. So if a local businessman made good bought his football club now, he'd have no chance on earth of winning the title: just keeping it in the top flight, as Dave Whelan has done at Wigan, is about as good as it gets. Meaning that football has moved from being a millionaire's pishing contest to a multi-billionaire's pishing contest - and the problem with that is that the wages being paid are grotesque, and completely distort the market. I've remarked before that if football were any other business, Chelsea and Manchester City would've been subject to anti-competitive legislation by now. But football is apparently unique: except the consequences for anyone who tries to cling on to their coattails are horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
