- Respectable from Liverpool. They at least have a league title and Champions League. A lot of silver, but still respectable.
- Chelsea's success was more respectable before Boehly came in and spent €600m in one season. A league title and two European titles.

What can we conclude from this?
Do Man City spend a lot of money? Yes, no one is denying that.
But so do our critics.
What's crazy is the trophy count. We spend, but are also successful.
Can't say the same for most of our critics.
