Happy Blue 1,901 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Very sloppy 1st gear performance from us today but united never looked like winning, the 2 weeks rest may of not been a good idea, hopefully we will play better in the CL final next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted June 4, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 4, 2023 The backlash against City's dominance and claims of boredom and a monopoly are in their infancy but they'll grow quickly. If it starts to be reflected in the Premier League's viewing figures (I think it'll be a while before that happens if it ever does) then I imagine the authorities will begin to take their misdemeanours more seriously. Or maybe I'm just clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's fine when they're bankrolled infinitely by a state isn't it 'up to everyone else to raise their game'. Maybe if there was more of a level playing field that would be realistically possible.

Its not like we can use it, thanks to clubs like Everton and City there is now regulation on sugar daddy wealth and rich owners cannot pour their private wealth into a club. I see City the benchmark to get to, running a club properly brings success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that there has never been equal teams in the league, and that has been the case for a very long time, there is always one dominant team that dominates due to money, or players or a super coach and then you have the rest trying to compete. During the Man United domination era, Arsenal were the constant challenge to that dominance. Chelsea's domination of the mid 00's to early teens was ended by City. We are in an era where there are the most number of teams capable of posing a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,103 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Equity is a necessity. Only two teams have dominated, Manchester United and Manchester City. The rest have been intermittent interlopers in the hegemony. Only two teams competed for the title this last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool's fall off could not be predicted, similarly Arsenal's rise could not be foreseen. Maybe next season we have 4 or 5 teams capable of taking points off each other leading to more competition. Arsenal will learn and get stronger, Liverpool will get stronger, Chelsea (maybe?), Man United and maybe even Newcastle. Man United's dominance was having more money than the entire league put together, similarly chelsea, City don't have the dominance of money, they are just well run top to bottom, if the rest start getting it together then City will come under threat.

Spike 5,103 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Chelsea are not well run at all. I only see United and City being potential title winners. Arsenal will probably have a regression, Spurs will continue to be the essence of mediocre, Ville and Newcastle will build on their success, Liverpool and Chelsea are in a transition phase. The table will be a mad dash for the 3rd to 8th spot and that’s where the excitement will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,103 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Also Liverpool’s fall off was very easily predicted. Ageing squad, players with severe injuries, sales of key players. Anyone could see that it was going to be a rough one for Liverpool. They did what they could to mitigate the damage but it’s hard to recover the loss of Mané and van Dijk’s injuries.

How it's always been and this era of City dominance has seen more different title winners than any other. since our first win in 2012 City, United, Liverpool, Leicester & Chelsea have been crowned Champions, 5 different winners and it's not like we have cheated, when Mansour came in he was allowed to invest in his club, the rules was made up to protect the then big 4 and to stop us making it a big 5 but now we are funded by prize money, 300million alone this season. we don't need a sugar daddy, we had a legal leg up to start with now our dominance has already repaid our owner who bought City for 265million and his investment is now valued at 1.05billion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
