      If indeed Man City are serious about being an advocate for smaller clubs making it to the big time with some help, why are they in favour of receiving a larger share of the Premier League tv deal? Why not say, actually, lets split the cash 20 ways each. Although its not just Man City, as United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all guilty of this. But still, isnt this a cartel going on to keep the smaller clubs at bay? Sure looks like it.

      In 2018 Man City received 149m to West Brom getting 96m from tv rights. If it was split, that gives WBA a 30m signing to narrow the gap between what was the bottom place club, against the first placed club.

        Jose is a menace and always has been. This guy act is old and im tired of people thinking he is one of the elite managers. 10 years ago most clubs would shave rolled out the red carpet, but now he is such an effort to put up with. Of course he ignored Frank Lampard out of spite. Ferguson would never have snubbed a former player he came up against as a manager, nor would Wenger. But negative energy runs throughout Jose and in the end Tottenham will sack him sooner rather than later. You can go back years and years to when he slapped Puyol in the tunnel at the Nou Camp, to when he needlessly wound up the United fans when Porto beat them in the CL, to when he poked Tito in the eye. Sucks the oxygen right out of the room. I loved seeing him wince as his former player got the best of him, you could tell he hated losing to Chelsea under Lampard.

          Well the rules were no secret, and it appears Man City have tried to flout the rules and got caught. Im all for trying to keep the spending race as even as possible. Man City & PSG are the only two clubs with owners with infinite pockets, they make Roman Abramovich spending power from 2005-2010 look like a joke. Speaking of which, Chelsea are no longer considered financial titans among Europe. They could be outbid by any team with a 50,000 capacity stadium – and thats a good thing.

          The rate for world class players in terms of transfer fees and their wages needs to come down, not up. If the financial reward for selling a player is low, then clubs will sell less players. Which will make it harder for richer clubs to assemble a top squad.
