[QUOTE="Jonno, post: 727911, member: 5"] All that's very true, and it isn't good for the game, but how can you compete for the title these days against Man U or Chelsea without money to chuck about though? That's why Liverpool and Arsenal are most at risk from Man City. But as a neutral and the way football is today, I don't mind a club like City coming in and having a go by spending big money. This may sound daft but I don't mind the two most obvious outcomes that much: 1) City really do start to challenge for the title etc, which for me would be good to see them break up the top 4 - on the whole I like City fans and they really have had some serious lows as well as highs. 2) They don't manage it even with all the money they spend (as Newcastle or Spurs etc have done before them albeit with a lesser budget), in which case it's just more quality entertainment from City. As for Everton or Leeds or Blackburn not taking their chances - that's definitely true (although we did win the league). For all the talk of money bringing success, it doesn't guarentee success, but I suppose that's what makes it more interesting in the current money driven world. I have probably got less to complain about than other fans though. My season ticket costs me only £299 in the Blackburn End to watch Premier League footy (£99 for juniors as well), we don't have anyone playing for us who is a money grabbing overpaid ponce, we have a ground based in a traditional location, and our finances, although a little bare, are in reasonable order. We manage to play decent football as well! Come the revolution we'll be alright. [/QUOTE]
