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.

They spent a lot to catch up to overcome the institutional advantages that exist in major soccer. That stopped a while back.
Talking about what they spent 15 years ago has no impact on 2024. Potentially committing fraud 10-15 years ago re: accounting has no impact on the squad in 2024.
The only reason there are rules in place that City may have violated, is to protect legacy teams/brands like Man U and Arsenal. It's a bullshite barrier to entry that shouldn't exist.
