Talk Of Manchester City Making A Top Five Is Premature

by Paul Bestall on August 10, 2009 · 71 comments

If I was an Arsenal fan, I’d be fed up already listening to people saying that Manchester City were obviously going to usurp them as one of the “Big Four” sides. It’s amazing what spending money does to peoples judgement when it comes to football and Manchester City have certainly caught more than their fair [...]

Is Mark Hughes Building a Barcelona Clone at Eastlands?

by Dave Warner on July 21, 2009 · 16 comments

Say what you will about the obscene amount of money being spent by Manchester City this summer, but you have to admit that there’s a certain perverse pleasure in watching someone build a real-life club lineup in much the same way that most regular joes would create their starting XI in a video game.

As a business, the club could sustain a 140m loss on a year because Roman Abramovich was there to bankroll the transfers. This was bad for football. The value of [...]

by Paul Bestall on March 19, 2009 · 16 comments

Could Manchester City finally put their 33 year major trophy drought to bed this season by winning the UEFA Cup this season? Why not, what  with Ajax crashing out last night at the hands of Marseille and Zenit St Petersburg and CSKA Moscow losing today, the competition for the trophy is getting into the nitty [...]

Could Manchester City Send Robinho to Chelsea for John Terry?

by tyduffy on February 27, 2009 · 16 comments

It would be a sane Premier League week if there wasn’t an outlandish Manchester City rumor, but where is the fun in that?
This week’s circulation is a doozy.  Manchester City reportedly are including Robinho in a cash plus player offer for Chelsea captain John Terry this summer.  City would entice Terry by doubling his £135,000 [...]

Are Manchester City Really Destroying Football?

by tyduffy on February 18, 2009 · 7 comments

FC Copenhagen chairman Stale Solbakken suggests that Manchester City’s spending will ruin football.
“The amounts of money that have been mentioned are incredible,” Solbakken told Ekstra-Bladet.
“I think that such incredible sums will take part in destroying football.
“They are creating too big a mental distance between what we call reality and then Manchester City.”
 The idea of City’s fiscal [...]
