Positives & Negatives vs Arsenal (A)

[pjm2019]

Basically teams can't. That is why Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U etc are leading the clamour for City to be basically ruined. Basically they want to maintain the status quo and f*ck the rest. Why they would have been happy in a Euro Superleague etc.

How much have chelsea, arsenal, Liverpool, man utd spent on players in the last 2-3 years. didn't Liverpool spend £300+ million the year after they won the league.

[weasel]

Indeed. They can spend money, and that's okay cos they have won stuff in the past etc and bring in plenty of revenue. No other clubs should be allowed to compete or have owners with ambition and that are prepared to put their own money in.

Man City were bought for £200m and are now owrth somewhere between £4.1bn and £7.5bn. So for all the money the owners have pumped in, even if via dubious sponsorship deals. their asset has risen incredibly in value and that doesn't happen without them being able to spend on good players.

It's wrong for Man City owners to exploit loopholes to plough money into the club and community. without wanting any of it back

It is right for Man U owners to lump the club with debt, put none of their own money in and continually take money (£bns) out of the club.

Football - funny ol' game.
