A massive congratulations to Manchester City for winning their 2nd title in 3 years. I may be speaking out of genuine hate but the only reason that City have gotten into the top four, let alone, won two championships is because they did not work hard to get to where they are today, I'm talking of course about getting a rich owner to buy success.
I think football club owners have the fantasy football team mentality, all for the sake of making money. They haven't worked as hard as Arsenal, United and Liverpool because of the simple fact that they've brought in a owner with a lot of money and have literally bought a superstar team, which in my opinion, is another form of cheating. Yes clubs with owners, have bought players over the years, but not as much as City and Chelsea have.
Clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and United have gotten to where they are because they have worked hard over the years. The way you actually earn a trophy is to work hard, the theory of getting a billionaire to buy out your club and buy superstars is not what I call, hard work and furthermore promotes a bad ethos that if your club is lingering in mid table mediocrity, all you have to do is get a billionaire to take over the club, Blackburn being the original bad influence back in 1995.
I might be speaking out of jealousy and or frustration, and I know it makes the league far more exciting and unpredictable but it doesn't set out a good president.
I believe for a club to be great they should be owned by the supporters and establish a solid foundation by bringing in young English players, and any assets attained through gate receipts, sponsorships and TV rights should invested back into buying new players, improving stadia, training facilities and not be a quick fix by a billionaire owner.
As much as City have fought hard to win this trophy, it could be said that if they had never been taken over by a rich owner, they would still be lingering in mid table and the glory of winning a league title would not be stolen from clubs that are funded by rich owners. If you have an owner that makes the club better than it was before, in my opinion, without piling debt onto the club and a fantasy football quick fix mentality, then you are buying your trophies, not earning them.
You can say what you want, but that is my opinion. You are denying glory to those in history books, who could have actually won trophies without a rich owner.
As much as I didn't want Liverpool to win it, I think they have conducted their club in the right and proper way. They have owners but they do not use their wealth to buy a fantasy football team ergo, buying success. In my opinion, I just think that all of City's recent trophies are plastic.
