Did you guys won the league after spending close two 100m on players? You finished 2nd. And it was only ManUtd who was in a rebuilding process and Arsenal back then. City have it harder since they are further down the line a bit when they started spending. And this time there are better teams around. The big 4(Liverpool included), Spurs, Villa, Everton.. they're all strong this time. It will just be a matter of time though before they break into the top 4. Once that happens, they will only get better.

Think about it. If Roman had bought Leeds, Leicester or Wolverhampton who all went down in 03/04 instead, it would be a Leeds/Leicester/Wolverhampton thread here which would be more popular. It might have taken longer, but with the money being thrown around, it was only a matter of time, like City would show eventually. 100m a season, where before that you were struggling if I remembered correctly with Bates although you got good results in the league. That's what people mean by money->trophy especially with clubs that have a sugar daddy like Chelsea has. From out of nowhere, comes in a rich guy, buy players out of his own pocket money, and presto, you're the champion. Like I said, could easily bought any other side, and would make it a champion in no time. Arsenal, us, Liverpool, any other side buy players from our own pocket money almost. We spent within our means which we earn through whatever income the clubs generated themselves.

On the pitch, it's clear you guys are worthy of whatever successes you had and will have, but it will be forever be in the shadows of the ££ with Russian signature stamped on top of every trophy. Don't cry when people doesn't acknowledge you guys as worthy. The fact is, without Roman, you wouldn't have the same amount of successes over the last few years since he came. You guys just have to live with that reputation.

Err why would I be 'butthurt' when we have enjoyed as much success if not more? Have I dream someone other than the yanks bought our club? Sure if it means we won't be in so much debt. But what has that got to do with anything of the stuff related above? Talking about our misfortune blabla, and bringing up the glory hunter subject.. Looks like someone else got butthurt-ed huh?

So you agree that you enjoyed so much success because of Roman's money, which have been the point from the start?
Thank you.

Maximum of 25 man players over 21 years of age of which at least 8 must be HG. I guess if you can't meet that number, you can register your reserve/youth players in the list. Players under the age of 21 doesn't count and is unlimited so you can have as many as you want.
