ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Uniteds core during their dominant years was home grown to be fair.

Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Neville etc

What United did was clearly more impressive than what City have done or are doing. Dont really see how anyone can argue otherwise in good faith.
Uniteds 3 most expensive players ever Pogba Maguire and Lukaku, all recent enough, cost 245 million between them.. City top 3 most expensive players cost them 179 million. United have been outspending everyone for 30 years and continue to do so.

I’m not denying United spend big though and them spending big doesnt change the fact that they amassed their spending power in a far more impressive and natural way than City. Do I think city fans give a toss about this ? Of course not just as I wouldn’t give a toss if Everton had lucked out like city... but if we’re going to compare them then these things need pointing out.

Cities net spend over the past five years is £130m more than Uniteds btw...

So what? Big deal. City lucked out financially- good for them.

And if we were taken over by an Uzbeki billionaire who built us a new stadium, installed a champions league coach and started filling the team with big name players from South American, would anyone here complain?
Probably not...but it'll never happen will it
