CL Final Inter Milan v Man City. Saturday 10th June 8pm KO

[davek]

All clubs who are successful spend a bit. FFP was set up by the old 'big 4' to make things a closed shop. FFP shouldn't even be a thing.

City have bought their success. So did Chelsea.

It is what it is.

 

[Nightman]

A fantastic point. The difference is night and day.

Really? So if I ever see Everton win a league or a European trophy in the future, you think I won't feel it like you felt it in the 80s?

Nonsense.

 

[davek]

They did not waste it though did they?

They wasted loads. It''s taken billions of wasted cash trying to win the CL to get to this point.

So did a lot of clubs in the history of the english game.

Even Forest bought Trevor Francis years ago.

 

[davek]

Nope. United spent more last decade and finished below us 10 years running

As siad, United proved they can win this trophy without mega cash.

 

[BlueShark]

Fairplay to the City fans - I remember that winning feeling

I too am one of the lucky ones who recall the feeling of winning leagues and trophies.

It may be a while before we experience anything like it again and that saddens me immensely.

Come on mate, Clough put that team together with two bob.

 

[Rita_Poon]

I dont usually bet on football, but 13/2 for these was seized today.

clears throat*

"Eh"

 

[davek]

By the way, I thought Inter were the better organised team on the night and had the best chances.

Nonsense.

Suppose it boils down to individuals...

 

[davek]

"Eh"

What's that got to do with City spending billions?

And how was getting 13/2 for a team that were the better team on the night an error?

In your own time...

Mostly yes but Shilton and Francis were huge fees. All successful clubs spend big and FFP is a joke. FFP is set up to keep the status quo.

At what cost though?

 

[davek]

You cant compare that City team assembled for billions with Cloughs Forest.

That's just barmy.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Balotelli not even contributing a word.

Fair play lad getting a wedge for this.
