Winning the Champions League in 2005 proved to be a smokescreen unfortunately. In this day and age, it's been proven that the richest clubs finish in the top 3, if not the top of the table. We came close once under Rafa and once under BR. It would have been unrealistic for us to expect the team to challenge for the title every season unless we spend the way Chelsea and City have. Even Arsenal who have managed their financials well aren't challenging for the title although they have been consistently in the top 4. So the question really is, do we have the financial muscle to match the clubs above us?

If you look at the La Liga, you will get the occasional Valencia or Atletico challenging Barca and Real Madrid for the title. In the last 10 years only Atletico Madrid has beaten both teams to the title and only twice has a club other than Barca or Real finished in the top 2.

It would be interesting to see BR in charge of Mancity.
Doubter and supporter of BR will finally see an answer.

Don't get me wrong, not advocate for BR sacking.

You never know, if the manager still eyeing for the like Lovren, Lallana type of players. tongue.gif

Mind that, M Hughes in charge of Mancity before and was given fair amount of money to spend upon as well.

i think its pretty obvious now that last season was a fluke coz mostly due to SAS and the slip is due to sutpiak BR put Gerrard too low. If Gerrard was higher up, slip will never happen
