Twice. If you are referring to winning the best league in world football, he's done that 3 times in 4 years in England (the Premier League being the world's best league for at least the last 5-6 years), and done it 3 times in 4 years with Barcelona when La Liga was still considered the best league in world football. Also won multiple titles with Bayern Munich in the Bundasliga. Name someone with a better record in three different countries. And how much has he spent achieving this amazing feat? Biggest myth in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp won the Premier League and the Champs League with zero net spend. Imagine how much more he'd of won if he'd spent a Billion like Pep. They're both horribly unpleasant but I guess Klopp must be the better manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 City's 4th choice CB was the best player of a team that was competing in the same league as them and cost them £40m. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they sold Sane that season so he was technically free, according to Peponomics. And then they received the money for Sane this season so they get to count that money twice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpools net spend World championship is bollocks They sold their 4th choice keeper for £15m, blagged about £40m out of Bournemouth for a couple of bums, barca inexplicably and laughably paid £140m for a player they didn't even play and then bought the world's most expensive goalkeeper and CB at the time and proclaimed they'd spent £0 If you want to hand out awards for net spending its not klopp that deserves the medal its the guy who negotiates Liverpools sales 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how much Fergie spent to spend close on to a billion in 5 years is simply staggering and mentioning Fergie to back up your argument/point smacks of ''my dad's bigger than yours'' Regardless of the spend, nobody can argue with the haul of throphy's, so, in winning so much over a relative short time, sometimes it's good ground yourself and be magnanimous. This is one of the reasons why so many football fans say that City are now soulless and lack class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 This thread is amusing... https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/does-the-constant-slander-about-city-bother-you.351791/ As if they’re struggling to perceive why nobody is over enamoured with them.

Wainy316 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 They genuinely think the club and owners are whiter than white and all the negativity is because of a media racket against them. The same media that desperately pushed all summer for us to surrender our best asset to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Genuine question - City get a lot of stick these days for failing to fill their stadium, however they were averaging close to 30K when they were in the third division.

Barca, real Madrid, juve, psg etc Sky et al diluted football to such an extent and made it so accessible that kids no longer need to glory hunt a PL team Dad's can get their kids a Villa shirt and a PSG one (if they're loaded obviously...) I think you can push them away from the big 6 here Messi PSG shirts will sell more than man City grealish ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I actually expect them to be found guilty of breaching FFP this time around. That’s why they signed Jack and still going after Kane. They’ll complete the transfer, then get a 1 window transfer ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Will be fun to see how they fare against Brentford this year. The difference in total spending of the two clubs is practically cosmic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
