Money and 115 mate
Nobody else could by VAR, to get easy penatlties..
115
Vinland Saga is old gen
And cities oil money
3 reasons to add to their 115 other reasons? What a club
Is that what we’re calling it now “excellent recruitment”
Stop the rubbish. it's called cheating by a corrupt 115 State FC. Nobody recognises these plastic cheats and their meaningless trinkets. None league is whete they're going. Millenials 🥱🙄
Interested to know how many team have won three in a row with 115 charges
115
Liverpool did actually win 4 in a row tho
115 is what happened
Yeah it was 115 reasons too far for the rest of them
Well he was god dam close to getting 7 in a row. Won a PL with Young, Jones and Smalling at the back 😂
Because he wasn't state backed with 115 charges. And cheating. So probably that, eh
Premier League will be known as a farmer league very soon.
He had to drop a title every so often so itd be more entertaining 😂
Pep 1-1-5 tactic to conquer Prem is amazing. Future managers should look up to it.
For all those mentioning money and/or FFP charges:
City are 6th in net spending over the past 5 years. That’s two years removed from the FFP charges that only ranges from 2009-2017.
Focusing back on the past 5 years, City is the only team in the PL to finish top 4 in that span.
Chelsea has even spent more than twice as much in that span.
1. Chelsea at £-672.95m
2. United at £-594.92m
3. Arsenal at £-550.53m
4. Spurs at £-459.4m
5. Newcastle at £-414.7m
6. City at £-326.67m
These are just undeniable facts. I have zero bias as a Bayern fan and honestly hate City, and think the PL is overrated with only a handful of teams that can actually play quality and technically sound footy.
Not trying to compare Bundesliga vs PL as that’s an entirely different rabbit hole
City have made football boring.
2004-05 Chelsea fun to watch
2007-08 United fun to watch
2003-04 arsenal fun to watch
Every dominant team was fun to watch.
City just stink the arena out.
Never enjoyed Barcelona’s football much under pep, enjoyed it way more under enrique in the 2015 treble.
City I can watch about the first 30 mins of a game then I fall asleep.
Greatest achievement since Lance Armstrong won 7 Tours de France….🙄
People in the comments crying😂😂
Because he wasn't backed by an entire country. It's pretty simple.
