@thekickoff: We need financial rules in the premier league to prevent what Man City did and they deserve to be punished. However the current rules are anti-competitive and exist only to stop ‘new money’ disrupting the legacy clubs’ stranglehold on success. We need a fair system.
This argument doesn't hold up because Leicester won in 2016. Also doesn't matter because everyone was respecting the rules even if they didn't necessarily agree with them while City weren't.

small club mentality, this is why Newcastle and villa will always be small clubs, why not build your club up organically like the so called "cartel" instead of crying "its not fair"

it's absolutely fascinating how suddenly everyone is playing dumb...all big clubs Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool did the same thing (worse than City) build their legacy and won everything by putting lots of money into their clubs from their own pockets but that's ok because back than there wasn't any rules to punish them...suddenly new club takes over and new rules start appearing to make sure that legacy of their favourite clubs stays untouched...pathetic

That’s the problem: if spending is tied to club revenue, only the traditional top clubs can realistically compete for the title, and City’s rise has exposed how outdated those rules are.

Last 10year I think! Man U have spent 1.6 billion and Man City 1.65 billion. It’s not the money it’s the way the supposed big 6 can blow it and the rest can’t.

Funny thing is they’ve heard the word “charges” and then started treating it like match fixing or paying off teams to lose. No we paid Gareth Barry an extra 5k and lied about it 😭

City fans would love to see Newcastle and Villa splash the cash. A proper changing of the guard would be welcomed.
