Manchester City
I can understand why many do not understand my decision to keep Manchester City out of close depth analysis. My main argument is that they are so simular to Chelsea F.C. They hold many of the same attributes as the London club. In the choice between these two clubs, I chose Chelsea over Manchester City because Chelsea have had more success. Manchester City won their first trophy in 63 years in 2012, where they just edged past Manchester United on goal difference. They have only had limited success since then as well. Only winning a few trophies, their consistency against the big clubs has got them no where. Loosing many times against low clubs, they keep conceding the Premier League to rivals. However, the Manchester City squad is massively deep. With many first team players, you would be suprised at the trophies won. Their owner has made it clear that he would pay whatever the cost to make the team the best it could be. This is clearly the right attitude. Since Manchester City do not have the biggest fanbase or make the most sales, the owner has to step in and make the money roll. It's because of this that Manchester City are recognized as the big team. In their transfer, their owner has been very good at choosing the right players. Players like Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany, whilst they may have come with a large price, have paid off. They have become some of the best players in the world and make the Manchester City team what it is today. Overall, Manchester City are a very successful team. They excel in most of the attributes given.
