I remember when that bloke on Arsenal Fan TV used the net spend argument to defend Wenger and everyone took the piss out of him. Now major broadcasters are unironically using net spend as a serious metric.
It's not "rigging" it's the fairness rules they introduced after City were allowed to get away with it. In short, you cannot just inject 200billion into a club and buy the worlds best XI in a window.
They were at the right place (high up) at the right time, had a star player that could be sold for a ton as well. This happened right when there was a lot of new money flooding the sport and cementing everything. Spurs were handed the golden ticket to relevancy
Dortmund is a similar case: they were completely broke in 2005, on the brink of collapse. But they managed to turn things around, and their first genuinely successful seasons with Klopp as their manager happened at the same time as Spurs had their success. Now Dortmund can be as moronic and fraudulent as they like, CL participation and having tons of bandwagoners leads to everything going full circle. If this influx had happened 5 or 10 years earlier, neither Spurs nor Dortmund would be as relevant as they are today
this is nuts

I blame Pep.
>Pooppingham
so they'll be below Spurs when Klopp leaves?
At what point does Newcastle take the spot in the big six over Tottenham? Should be around two years from now or so ye?
Brits say the current big 6 is rigging it against newcastle. Supposedly they aren't allowed to spend any of their money.
it's sustainability, mate. clubs need to sustain their positions forever, like the super league. that's soul and letting oil clubs spend is soulless
