The Randy way or Citeh's Trillions ?

[TimTheVillain]

Be honest, what would you prefer ?

A slow burn or a quick, let's spend spend spend...and spend some more way like Man Citeh ?

I’d rather do it Randy’s way with trillions of pounds to spend.

Just because you're rich, doesn't mean you have to act like a cock.

[Mazrim]

I'd rather some direction rather than just throwing money at anybody and everybody. It would be exciting though. I dont blame City fans for being excited.

But I'd be a hypocrite. In truth, and for Football's sake, I want less money in the game, not more.

[Malandro]

One will last, one will not.

I'd rather have Gabby and Nathan coming into the first team than robinho.
Why would we want the hatred that they have either?

[Brazilian Villain]

Randy's way, you can't put a price on pride in your football team.

Or to put it another way, having Acorns as your sponsors or renaming your reserve team the "Elite Squad"?

[Mazrim]

Remember what Ken Bates said last year.
There's more to it than money. If you dont have pride and honour you have nothing.

[Reformation]

I'd sickly say City's trillions unfortunately only because debt and money is no object. The question on how to compete is how do you make infinite amounts of money a problem to them.

Sadly I dont think we will ever get higher under Randy's tenure due to various constraining factors. One being unfashionable Birmingham, two being that its not longer a level playing field and another being as smart/clever manager you are, money now overpowers this.

The romance of football has been battling with the cancerious sums for a couple of decades and I think its funeral is around the corner.

City are totally classless, and repugnant. And thus far, where has it got them? 5th place. Woopty doo.

Okay, that may change soon, but I'd hate to think of this club as being a representation of one of the worst parts about football: flaunting money. Granted we've done our share of cash spunking, and have been lucky compared to many Prem clubs, but what City are doing goes even beyond what Chelsea did. At least as much as Chelsea has been a plaything for Roman, he's always been very passionate about the club. Plus Ancellotti is trying to bring through the youth far more now. I don't see Chelsea going back to the way they were when Roman first stomped in.

It would be nice to win a title most definitely, but to win it by having almost limitless cash and playing fantasy football? No, I'd rather stay as we are to be honest. If we win something, we'll have done it the old fashioned way, through, graft, hard work, luck, and beating the odds. How many of City's squad are there for a better reason than money first? Not many. When clubs such as ourselves, Everton say, sign a player, on the whole, they want to come play for us, or Martin O Neill. Robinho ffs! Absolute joke!

Too many more clubs like Man City, and the Premiership will be in dire straits in a few years. Especially when these owners get bored and fuck off.

[PaulTheVillan]

We have an owner who oozes class.

Let's keep it this way.

Nothing else to say!

They said that about Chelsea, though.

The inflow of money into football is absurd, the game is going to be ruined.

Randy hasn't put a foot wrong since being here, but if the only way we could compete was by a massive injection of cash, I'd go for that.

I wouldnt want us to act like Man City do, mind.

[pauliewalnuts]

They've only been there one whole season under the Arabs, though.

I take your classless point, but they've got 5th place, which is more than we've managed, so that doesn't strike me as a fair criticism of them.

They're classless and unpleasant, and I don't like them, but although it won't work instantly, eventually, if they buy enough very good players, it is going to bring them some success.

That's a bit of a cop-out. Manchester is hardly Barcelona.

Something I’ve always found strange is that if you’re an oil rich Arab, with limitless funds and you’re seeking to buy an English football club from Manchester to give you some reflective glory, why on Earth do you buy Man City and not Man United?
