I don't begrudge City and their supporters anything. Or to be more precise I could care
Who cares that they have spent the most money. I could care less. Teams still have to be managed, individual personalities, tactics, getting a squad of players to buy into a system. Know their roles.

They also have to buy smart and buy clever. Eg watched OGS on the overlap last night and he was telling United Haaland was special and to move quickly and they could have got him for €20M from Salzburg but they slept in. Dortmund stepped in and the rest is history... Same with Rice. Could have had him 4-5years ago and slept in. Instead they've squandered millions on duds.

Chelsea have squandered millions. United billions between fees and wages. City have spent billions... well. Including picking up the dud KDB from Chelsea.

Point is some teams will always have more spending power than others. But that doesn't guarantee anything. Just look at Chelsea and PSG.

But it's laughable to hear the whining of posters about financial dominance in one league who follow BM in another.

When Pep goes they'll be spending the same money with half the success.
