If they really wanted to send a message. They'd deduct points and give the title to Liverpool.
They don't have the balls for that. Sadly.
With the prem tv money being thrown around there shouldn’t be a need for money excuses. Spurs have shown that. You get the right manager and have the right scouting network then it is possible to be successful in the premier league. If you going to hire the same old managers and spend next to little of that Tv money then you won’t be doing anything. I don’t know much about Potter, but I was hoping Brighton would go leftfield for someone like Bielsa. Would have been a great addition to the prem and he’s too good for Leeds. Obviously with Bielsa it tends to end in tears, but that’s the case with nearly every manager. Would like to see him in the prem obviously not with Leeds though.
We have spent big but it hasn’t guaranteed us any success. But I’d say that net spend Photek posted for Man Utd is skewed as we lost in the past decade Giggs, Scholes, Rooney, Vidic, Evra, Rio, Van Persie, Carrick, Fletcher and some other players for next to nothing. So we clearly had to spend to replace these players, but we haven’t spent it wisely. City don’t really have that excuse. They just lost Kompany and Toure as the two key players. Also I’d accept them giving a points deduction to City for 17/18 season because that’s when the cheating started. They should give them like 20 points for that season alone.
Also Benzin nobody I know wants a super league. The premier league is fine as it is just like the champions league. Both formats shouldn’t be changed. Super league is just stupid, I don’t wanna play Barca or Madrid every year. Not like we will any time soon, but those sort of matches should be special matches. It just takes away from the occasion when you play them every year.
