Soccer has institutional advantages for teams who happened to be good during expansion, like Arsenal, Man U, and Liverpool.
Investing money to catch up isn't a bad thing, unless you think those institutional advantages should always exist.
Now that Man City has "caught up", they're the best run club in England by far.

They spend wisely. They sell for value.

To act as if the City project is some organic light spending bullshite is extraordinarily facetious.
I never said they were light spending, but they haven't been outlier spenders for a long time. No top EPL team is "light spending", and even mid EPL teams are huge spenders on the world stage.
And, pretending that Arsenal (or the other clubs with major institutional advantages as "big clubs" in the EPL) have "organic" status is just as comical. Man U is the worst and Liverpool is probably worse than y'all, but you can't act like you're Brentford or Swansea, here.

It is organic in the sense that we don't fricking commit fraud to inflate our financials in order to break financial rules.
Just like Liverpool winning the league was organic. Spent an assload but it was an assload that was spent without fraud.
It is what it is. City is a machine and have more points accumulated in a 6 or 7 year stretch than some teams accumulate in 15 to 20. It is what it is. This league is incredibly difficult and people are essentially playing for 2nd place. But don't come in here with that bullshite that their net spend is so amazing and that it was just a mom and pop shop that should be the envy of the world.
City is fraudulent but on the football side, insanely well run. They also have arguably the greatest manager in history. It is what it is but frick you and your dumbass net spend number that doesn't even begin to tell the full story.

Thanks for completely avoiding the charges from FIFA and the FA. You are making Everton's case.
