The big teams will still dominate, the levels of commercial gain at a team like United for a player, tramples all over what that player could get for playing for a team like Spurs.

The whole Pogba/adidas thing was just the start here £800m shirt deals and huge sponsorship opportunities for the players etc. The Spurs' and Everton's of this world can't compete with that.

The big teams will still dominate, yes, but it won't have a situation where one or two have so much more money than everyone else.

It would at least return us to a situation where there is a prospect of another Leicester winning it. Them winning it made City up the ante and there is nothing and no one out there willing or capable of stopping them as they have literally limitless funds.

FFP has seemingly just disappeared. There is no way City 'earned' the money to buy three full backs at £50 million a pop, let alone the other players they also bought.

Ssshh! Don't let any spurs fans hear you say that or there'll be a hoard of them on here talking about net spend and paying players pennies

Oh look it's the President of the players welfare association showing extreme concern about some players who don't get paid enough according to him.

Sucky can't get it in his head that we pay 110k a week to the 2 times Golden Boot Winner who is happily getting on with his business whilst Pool pays 150k for a dummy used by Physios to conduct medical experiments on.

Don't hate the playa Nigga, hate the game.

UEFA need to get their heads around this and decided how to manage it as those two teams will just be unstoppable.

Maybe not PSG so much as the French league is weak by comparison to the premier league but City have the financial clout to do whatever they want and UEFA just have their heads in the sand and fingers in their ears on it.

Is this how football should be? No, is it ****.

They should cap spending and cap wages, level up the playing field for all leagues.

And, as already said, if City turn on the real financial firepower neither Utd nor any other Prem side could even remotely compete.

They have the resources available to totally dominate English football unless something is done to level the field a bit.

Definitely not, it'll all be 'sponsorship' deals etc from their owners. I think they put money into developing Eastlands and the area around it that filters into the club somehow as well.

United meanwhile are paying back debt every season as well as trying to compete.

We had to get our 750 mill plus to pay off our new stadium aswell as trying to compete at the top end too.

With all said and done, I'd say we have done a great job.
