I never get this 'team x is buying the premiership' stuff. Every club buys to be successful, heck even York City are trying to buy our way to Premiership glory it's just no one wants to help us :lol: Every team in the Premiership spends millions as it is, what's a few more noughts here and there to spend. Absolutely nothing arguement and always will be.

Respect Milner as a player, but I don't see how any Man City player could get any joy or satisfaction if they do end up buying one or more trophies this season, absolutely no achievement whatsoever IMO.


That's because you're a moron.

No matter who Citeh buy, and they've bought some very good players but haven't exactly bought dozens of amazing ones, they've still got a massive improvement to make to actually step up to a trophy winning side. They've got to quickly become a team, they've got to overcome the added motivation from sides who they play, they've got to overcome over 30 years of Citeh tradition.

Citeh won't win the league this season. They're competing against 2 sides so strong and seasoned and simply don't have the experience to do it IMO. So if they actually do win the league they've proved me wrong and they've proven practically every pundit in the country wrong. How can that be no achievement whatsoever?

What club do you support? You definitely come across as a bitter red scouser but I don't remember you as being one.

Newcastle fan. :) I know it's been done by many clubs, but to nowhere near the extent that they're doing it, just saying IMO they won't have achieved anything if they buy the Premiership and/or Champions League (eventually). Man United on the other hand (as much I dislike them) deserve their many years of incredible success because they earned it.

I don't think they have. Can't even see a top 3 finish and they have a bit of work to do to in order to make the top 4.

Man United's run of success owes itself as much to their wealth as anything else. They were lucky to become the biggest club in the country and to start a reign of success at the beginning of the Sky era. They were also helped massively by being in the CL every year. They have massive advantages over everyone else but you never get anyone belittling their honours.

Even with unlimited wealth, Citeh face a massive climb to be able to compete with the likes of Man United and Chelsea to win titles. Those clubs have top, established players and have the knowledge and experience of what it takes to win the major prizes. They have managers who have won a pair of CL titles each.

For you to say that Citeh beating them to the title isn't an achievement is just stupid. Of course they wouldn't even be challenging without the money, but just because they have the money there is still a huge amount of luck and hard work involved to earn them a league title.

And you geordies tried to buy your place at the top of English football and managed to screw it up. Tough 5hit that your rich benefactors aren't rich enough or are just divvy frauds.
