I believe City broke the rules to accomplish this.
Unpopular opinion: I find FFP to be biased rules established to entrench the existing Hierarchy.
I am not really offended by City paying their players too much. Employers paying employees too much is not something that offends me.
If the premier league had rules that made sense like a hard salary cap I would care, but FFP is so biased and rigged against any club that isnt liverpool, man united and arsenal, so I dont really care.
Unjust laws/rules being broken dont offend me.
Rules that allow some clubs to spend 4 times as much as a club like bournemouth is inherently unfair. Just because one entity is bigger and more established we implement rules that they can pay their employees more? Thats fair to you?
nah, congrats man city. you broke the rules, but these rules are BS.
Yep that’s exactly how I feel too. These rules were only really meant to keep the historically large clubs on top.
United is able to fumble close to a billion pounds without seeing any sporting success and nobody really bats an eye. It takes investment to really grow and keep a club at the top.
Just look at Leicester, fairytale story of winning the league yet they’ve been relegated just a couple of years after.
The rules that just happened to be brought up the year of our takeover.
I love hearing United fans and other rich teams complain like they didn’t have a massive stranglehold because of the “money they earned” - that money being the huge commercialisation of football that the premier league brought with it when it took it away from the masses with sky making it ppv, so lots of sponsorship and tv money. Right place, right time.
United, Arsenal and sometimes Liverpool popping in for a try every single season. Wow, what a league. We’ve had more different winners since City’s takeover than we have since the beginning of the premier league.
This is because Chelsea doesn’t generate as much revenue as arsenal and United. We have to his clever accounting tricks and loopholes to do what we have been doing. The point is that the historically big teams have a major advantage.
There is a story about how Roman might have been paying players off the books. I will be honest I suspected something like that was happening and its a huge part of why I love Roman. Whatever happens, I will always have the great memories.
5 Premier League titles, 2 UCLs, 5 FA cups, 2 Europa leagues and 3 energy drink cups.
Memories are priceless. Great moments no matter what happens.
I think rational City fans feel the same way.
We arent goliaths like Liverpool, Man United or Arsenal. Clubs like Chelsea were never meant to win that amount of silverware.

Not unpopular at all, FFP is designed to literally prop the bigger teams up.

Excluding Chelsea from your list has me howling.

Yeah, you just took advantage by completely blowing everyone else out of the water for years before FFP came in. The cheek
