We paid for a new ground...something city didn't but why compare paying over £700m on new players in 3 years with building a ground.
Our ground cost somewhere between £750m and £850m.

We get slaughtered for not throwing money around...Levy is mocked for being tight cos we pay what we can afford. We built a new ground tk be sble to afford more.
We were a turgid team snd slowly improved to being a top 5 or 6 team. We built on thst over a few years tl become a top 4 team.
It was that pstience and living within our means thst meant we were able to to built the ground and hopefully will help us afford better players.

City were turgid until the day they were bought. Snd that changed over night. And not content with that they have broken FFP rules and rules on signing under 18s.
Chelsea used to challenge for the title and won trophies before they were bought.
Arsenal did a similar thing to us and built a new ground.
United inproved their ground and marketing and spent that to dominate.
That's why I mentikned city...they have not earned or built anything...they have simply bought it all .

To me that is spoiling football and is one of the reasons people will always remember Leicester winning the title.

I know I am in a minority but it is a genuine belief.
City have not stopped us winning anything so it is not bitterness.
It kills football imho.

Historically I blame spurs as much as anyone for money killing the game...we were the first club to become a PLC and were a key player in pushing for the Premier League...but City (for me) epitomise more than any other club what is wrong in football.

He’s nowhere near good enough to lead the line at Chelsea. The fact that his only real competition is a bloke who can’t run, doesn’t bode well for your chances this season.

Was actually relieved to see him coming on ... Giroud has always been a thorn for us ...
