Can sky sports please let poor Klopp **** off to spec savers for lazer eye surgery, turkey for teeth, NHS for Botox and Karen’s hair salon for just for men in peace

It is mildly strange that there's a team winning four titles in a row and there aren't that many fans that actually care. Most of the fan chat I hear on X and talksport is mostly all from fans enjoying it that the team coming second (thay they don't like) are not winning it. Does anyone, apart from the small number of City fans, actually care about City? People use to despise to United (still do) because they won. I'll revel in United losing the cup final for example. Same with Liverpool being despised by rivals. But City don't elicit any feelings from anyone. Don't seem to anyway. Their fans won't care that no-one cares about them of course. But very odd to have a club like that winning everything and no-one actually cares enough to despise them in a United or Liverpool way.

I read that and I think you make some interesting observations ... but you could have summarised it much more succinctly... like this perhaps?

"Manchester City and their undoubtedly talented and charismatic manager, Pep Guardiola, despite setting new English footballing records with some ease, not to mention style, have yet to attract a vast number of plastics - in stark contrast to their rivals in the North West of the country ... " <whistle>

I'm not defending my club against breaking the parameters that have been imposed mate - not one bit - if there are technicalities that the lawyers can exploit, fair enough, give them a go ... otherwise guilty as charged ...

What I'm having a pop at is the concept off FFP and 'sustainability' as applied to footie in the first place and the myths behind it's introduction...

Bring in spending caps on transfers and wages but we're going to exclude infrastructure costs from outlay restrictions even though they are likely to dwarf the former ... and even though they all have to be met from the same financial pot ... what utter contrived bollocks - who does that benefit?

I'm sure Spurs new ground, Liverpool's extended stands and United needing what's looking like a complete refurbishment of Old Trafford had nothing to do with permitted exclusion thinking ... <laugh>

Football is a business ... unfortunately but it is - but in no other business I can think of are investors prohibited in investing or have their investment funds inhibited in terms of the area of the business they seek to improve ...

The whole thing makes the Premier League less competitive... those that think otherwise are either in cloud cuckoo land or support the Big 6 and don't want to have more competition for CL etc ...

Just my opinion of course ...<laugh>

all sorts of sports have rules to try and "level the playing field" and if you can't see the difference between spending on players and infrastructure projects which increase revenue <doh>

For the lucky few to have exploited it in the lucky few years before the draw bridge was pulled up

... I can ... but spending on infrastructure is still speculating on future success and therefore revenues - but you obviously can't see the hypocrisy in limiting spending restrictions to areas that might disrupt the status quo ... not surprising, given who you support tbf <doh>
