How long will this hurt for? It's not often I am a sore loser, but I can't even congratulate City on this one. Our owners have invested pretty much to their limits while city's team (s) have been paid for with the spare change in the back of their sofa which is made entirely of cash. Yes I'm bitter. Yes I call foul play. No one can invest what they do and still meet FFP rules. Sod UEFA on this one, I think it's the premier league's responsibility to make sure everything is above board as well. Our league is meant to be competitive. If City remain unchecked and dominate for years that'll be no fun for anybody.

Fully agree redinthewrong.

Unfortuanately the dubai money greases a lot of the industry and no one in the media will say its wrong.

The crap that started with abramovic has now evolved into a monstrosity and there may be no stopping it.

Earn your money and spend it wisely. Seems fair.

Its the reason why i have got over rivalry with united. They deserve any access they get.

This city spending won't stop and i see them winning 7 of the next 10 title if they allowed to spend as they are.

{Ed001's Note - Dubai has nothing to do with this, nor does this have anything to do with the UAE money greasing a lot of the media - that would be Qatar, a nation almost at war with the UAE.}

Haven’t we breeched FFP?
I think ed002 may have mentioned it.

Even if we haven’t, we’re not in the right type of building start throwing stones about breaking UEFA rules 🤝.

Breaking on sly sports is that a uefa panel is looking to have city banned from the CL for one year so u may get your wish! Although I don’t know what it’s for the Ed’s might have sumthn on it!

{Ed001's Note - for the work around on sponsorship they did.}

With a little research people will clearly see Liverpool spent more than City in the last 2 years. Stop being bitter ans appreciate our owners; they are matching the spending of City. 97 points and champions league final is something to be very happy and proud about.

We are hardly skweeky clean our selfs with tapping up players. Man City won the league because they were the best over 38 games simple! You just need to get over it.

Roy, I kinda get your point, but why stop at just looking at 2 years?!

It’s clear that the majority of this City team have been assembled for more than 1-2 seasons, that’s partly why they won this year - the core have played together for a while.

And if you look back over the last, say, 5 years or more, City have undeniably been by far the biggest spenders.

Also, in the past 4 seasons we have partly funded our layer acquisitions through sales - Suarez, Sterling and Coutinho to name the biggest ones.

I’m not saying we’re completely clean when it comes to FFP, as has been reported by Ed002 in the past, but the recent investigations are showing that Man City are slating very close to the edge, much more so than us when it comes to FFP.

Rather they got a points deduction and a transfer ban than kicking out the champs League, let's them focus on the Prem with no midweek games.

Football is football some teams are better some are stronger some are luckier that’s why i love it. Doesn’t bother me the unfairness it mirrors life. I can’t stand cheats tho.

Roy, This is what i got from a quick google search:

Man City-
ARRIVALS 18/ 19 - £69.38m
DEPARTURES 18/ 19 - £48.69m

ARRIVALS 17/ 18 - £285.75m
DEPARTURES 17/ 18 - £82.22m

net = £224.22m

LFC -
ARRIVALS 18/ 19 - £163.98m
DEPARTURES 18/ 19 - £34.65m

ARRIVALS 17/ 18 - £156.49m
DEPARTURES 17/ 18 - £175.05m

net = 110.77

Obviously these numbers aren't entirely correct as they don't include agents fees and such, but we have not outspent City over the past 2 seasons. City also haven't had to sell they're best player at the time to fund a large portion of the transfers.

{Ed001's Note - they also do not include all the other signings City have made of young players and players that have been signed for loaning to Girona etc.}

I dream of an alternate reality where City lose points for FFP.

That said I'm still a bit salty, it honestly could have gone either way, it gets tiring getting rubbish from every other fan, like if kompany had hit that screamer over the bar we would be here as PL champs. But we still get constant sh*t from other fans who's teams most likely lay down and let city bash them

I think it was eds01 said earlier on when we had some defensive injuries which probably cost us a draw rather than a win, if we powered through and got a result we would be PL champs.

I hope we beat spurs, and i hope we go on and win the league next year.

We had an amazing year, with 2 of the 3 golden boot winners, golden glove, VVD being Player of the year, CL final and hopefully winners. Only team to be able to give city a good go and take it to the final game.

I hope a few nice additions in summer just to add depth and cover where needed and we can go and win the PL next season :)

Some moaning and excuses are getting boring now, who cares what city have spent or what their financial behaviour has been. We've spent big money too and are far from perfect in our behaviour.

This of all league seasons should be one where nothing but credit is given to both sides, all season I've listened to posters saying that every team just lies down and let city win easy. There's not a conspiracy out there that every manager and referee is out to get us.

City earned their 98 pts with a bit of fortune on the way

We earned our 97 pts with a bit of fortune on the way

I know the anguish is painful but it's over, "ifs and buts" are only prolonging the pain.

Let's look to June 1st folks and quit this nonsense,
