Three points plus £125m for Kane

City, along with PSG, Chelsea and Utd, are slowly but surely ruining football for everyone else, resulting in the "sports for the working man" as it used to be called, becoming totally unrecognisable.

Says a fan of footballs' first PLC that has a cheese room at their stadium and has the 2nd most expensive season tickets in Europe.

Levy bends you lot over every season and you love it.

You do know we don’t actually have a cheese room don’t you?


I do agree however that spurs have been ripping fans off for years.

But that is a completely different argument to the fact City wouldn’t of won any of their titles without the huge financial advantage they have over every other club in the league

Not love it no, but willing to pay it by season ticket holders, as, although it might not be 'value', it is the going asking price.

Basically the same as Kane, it might not be a bargain, but it is the the going price. Levy has something you want, its either paid or not.

Hopefully today taught us we don't have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a crock.

Norwich were poor, probably because you used your financial muscle to get Skipp off them.

Clubs like yours are ruining football with your bully-boy tactics.

Of course you heard it, some dipper on the BBC website put it there before.

Sorry but you can't just hand out tickets anymore, all clubs have a responsibility to have the names and addresses of all ticket holders these days.

I heard you were handing out free cheese last week.

City have never filled their ground in my lifetime, so not really a surprise. Decent support, but nowhere near as big supportwise as Spurs.

What team always 'fills' their ground?

“ City, along with PSG, Chelsea and Utd, are slowly but surely ruining football for everyone else, resulting in the "sports for the working man" as it used to be called, becoming totally unrecognisable.”

I agree about the clubs mentioned above. However football not being recognisable to the working man is a ship that sailed long before all bar United were taken over. How much are Spurs season tickets, or match day tickets? Are they cheap so you noble, and sometimes preachy, Spurs fans can afford to carry on going to watch the working mans game?

Listen, I don't disagree with this. Spurs, like virtually every other PL club are now "in it for the money" but, you must surely see that the few clubs who have risen to a further level, are now literally buying everything in the game. This is being achieved simply because these elite few are buying up all the talent, even if they don't need them. Just take a look at City's bench when they played us. At least 5/6 world class players who must be turning up each week knowing they only have a 15/20% chance of getting a game.

And in doing so, this is where the so much needed wage cap should apply. Since the day Utd came along with the first obcene wag offer in the 90's, football as we used to know it went to the wall. Why do you think Barca now find themselves 1.15 billion in debt ( and rising )

That does not come about without a strategy, which is usually to scoop every player up even if we don't have an immediate need for that player, but it stops a rival having them.

Now I do get "money talks" it always has done, no matter what the area, but it grinds on me when you get posters like this, who have no idea about City's finances , other than an expectation that they shake a wad at someone and get what they want. Does this poster even remember when City were in the third tier of football ? I'm guessing he has only seen the money men given his attitude to getting what he wants,. like a spoilt kid at Christmas.

1 year in the 3rd tier but 93 years in the top tier.

The OP should write a lengthy article on that terrible time even though it was 23 years ago, it's what defines a club.
