Apart from I can’t be bothered to read all that.Re City and the 115 charges. I have said it before and continue to say it. I think they are guilty of breaking some of those charges. I have said this before. They had to. There was no way that City were getting anywhere near the top table unless they spent serious money. It started when they bought Robinho for £30 million. Everyones fa our ire second club at the time had just bought a world class player to come to a bang average club.
Yet look at the last report re have any clubs over spent. Not one. So City and other clubs have now got to a stage where they are sustainable. Yes sustainable but still a flawed system that favours the big clubs including us.
Yet Newcastle would like to do the same. Under the present strait jacket FFP rules which were set up by Crooks eg Platini etc. they have not got a cat in hells chance.
Having said all that. It’s down to the owners to run there clubs and if you looks at City, Utd and Liverpool. They all have owners that are a million miles apart.
This is actually a decent read
Liverpool v Man City: How Klopp has kept up with Guardiola despite a 37% smaller budget
On Sunday Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will lock horns with one of his greatest adversaries for the last time in the Premier League.www.transfermarkt.co.uk
But again, from a fans point of view they count trophies.
One thing I did read. The other day. Klopp who is now an ambassador for red bull has ripped into Man City and the 115 charges and told the players that if found guilty he is having a party at his house in with the players in Mallorca. Because guilty charges against City make his achievements “ look better”. However.
Quote,
It is clearly in Klopp's interest that City's record is tarnished as his own record at Liverpool will be improved - however the irony is that he would not get more than his sole winner's medal even if City were stripped of all titles in the period under scrutiny.
Klopp arrived at Anfield in 2015, finishing eighth, fourth and fourth in the three seasons before the cut-off for the charges in 2018. He guided Liverpool to second place in 2019 as City won the domestic treble - leaving Liverpool second despite amassing 97 points - but Liverpool wouldn't get any retrospective title for that season.
The ironic thing is that if City were to get stripped of titles, Utd would get one under Mourinho. Not sure if Liverpool fans or Klopp would like that one either.
As I’ve said before Tash, City’s behaviour apparently only affected 1 Club and it seems a lot of Oil money is bad, but a little bit is OK or if your main sponsor has been fined billions for money laundering terrorism money that’s OK as well.
