Match Reaction - Arsenal vs Sunderland

[Marc Overmars]

At Man City it is all about the money. Nothing else but money.

Even moreso than Chelsea - Chelsea had built a capable team before the injection of Abramovich's cash. With Man City it is money, greed and more money. Anything they win is as hollow as it is possible to be hollow. I don't consider anything they win to mean anything. At all.

Pretty much.

[Power n Glory]

Bit diffrent they are fighting a board who they thinking is runing their club, not the managers. thats the diffrence. having a protest against the board and against the manger are 2 diffrent things.

Blackburn... fans against Kean the day try beat us.

Well quite. Lucky for them most football fans are massively thick and don't care about such things.
When Abramovic came along I, and others, said their success was purely down to money. They only won big when Mourinho came along but would he have been there but for the money? Would he balls.
And now City are doing it. A side languishing in mid-table before the sugar daddy. That pretty much proves it, you can do it with any club if you throw enough money at them for long enough.

You don't see many who say Chelsea's trophy wins are hollow, the Chelsea fans were pretty happy...you saying their trophies are hollow is you trying to make yourself feel better...they're not at the end of the day as they go down in the history books....just like City's will if they are successful.

Chelsea spents loads and had a very good manager so they won and they sound gained respect in the game.

I agree Man City have spent a lot of money and it's not fair, difference is now is that they can also attract players because they are capable of winning trophies and player will perceive it to be a club where they can play alongside the best players and win stuff (as well as earn money obviously).

Whether you perceive it to mean anything at all means nothing, they're not trying to please you as you're not a City fan so why would they care?

How do you feel about Stan on the board and the fact that he hasn't put his money into the club? I'm not sure what you're stance is on this, but I know a lot of people on here are unhappy with Stan and are now calling for the other Billionaire to takeover the club and splash the cash. A few years ago, that was unheard of and people on here were against Jabba taking over and it was the same for Stan.

An outsider would say we're the thick ones for supporting a model that the fans pay for but get nothing back while shareholders can watch the money pile up without putting up their own cash. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Circumstances can change an opinion rather swiftly.

Thing is if you look at the general view of Chelsea they're success was respected by many and nowadays all of Europe take them seriously, the fact you don't doesn't make a whole lot of difference because history is history and that says they won x trophies under Mourinho.
