Again....what is a big club? Clubs with histories? What constitutes a history? Winning trophies decades ago?
City win them now.
Times have changed in football and elite sports. The game is awash with money, whether we like it or not.
Buying success does not make success taste as sweet, in my opinion. But does it make you a big club? Well, sustained success and trophies does, yes. And City have been winning trophies, albeit due to owners with deep pockets, for a number of years now. I'm not condoning it in any way, shape or form. I'm just saying I personally believe they are a big club...
