Behind Barca and Madrid they have the highest payroll in the sport. All teams in the Premier league have had their shaky moments this year.

How would you guys feel about having some type of salary cap?
A little bit of parity could be good.
A little bit of parity could be good.
Would be difficult, cause it's just not one league and one country you are dealing with.

Wouldn't make as big of a difference as we'd like to believe... See: New Jersey
But it would insure them proper arena acommedations and whatnot.
....because?

because no American team can do what City did. Too many different variables to be a like for like.
in baseball, there is no way MLB would allow some rich sheikhs to buy a team. They will let a con man like that idiot who owned the Dodgers buy a team, but would shudder at the Sheikhs.
I mention MLB because its the only league that you can use to compare it, and even then no.

because fundamentally there isnt a team in similar situation in the US
soccer teams are inherently dependent on their owners $.
in the us even in sports that have no salary cap there is an attempt for parity through draft.
this isnt the case in soccer, where a rich team with a big name will ALWAYS poach the poorer team's talents.
the only way for a poor team that isnt world famous to compete is to be extremely lucky by having a great coach and great team at the same time or...get an owner that is rick as fukk
so naturally once the big $ was spent on Man Citys transfers, they got bunch of world class players. they barely won this year tho.
you can maybe liken this to the yankees but not really...its pretty different...yankees are the worlds most recognizable baseball brand.

exactly. I don't even know who compared them to the Clippers.
