City is an ugly ass club which shouldn't even be in the PL.
care to explain why?
Probably because they weren't in a EPL 15-ish years ago.

Before rich owners, Man Utd was like Barca.
Chelsea was at least somewhere around European spots even without Russian money.
Man. City was a 2nd div team or bottom table Epl team before rich investors.
In La liga terms, it is something like:
Sevilla or Bilbao=Chelsea
A good team already, and with a 500-1000m money injection they can turn into a European powerhouse
Man City was something like=Zaragoza, Betis, Sociedad
A club with a long history and lots of fans, but with a poor history in the last 20-30 years.
Imagine if someone buys Sociedad now and invests 1 Billion in transfers.
And Sociedad buys Messi, Pogba, Busquets, Isco, Kroos, Gundogan, Marquinos, Mats etc
And get Pep/Mou as a coach.
And Sociedad starts to win La Ligas soon and get into CL finals and semifinals.
More or less, this is how the current Man. City has been created.
They were Zaragoza/Sociedad 10 years ago.
Man Utd was at least the same (like Barca/Real) for the last 30-ish years.
I also don't have too much sympathy for Man City.
