Right, for the geniuses claiming equivalence between City now and United in the past, here is a comparison of the clubs' net spend each season of the premier league. The team in bold spent more that season:
92/93 £215,000 £2,750,000
93/94 £2,850,000 £5,750,000
94/95 -£3,980,000 -2,220,000
95/96 £2,900,000 £3,590,000
96/97 £500,000 £950,000
97/98 -£2,525,000 £1,250,000
98/99 £25,950,000 -£498,000
99/00 £16,050,000 £6,700,000
00/01 -£8,300,000 £9,710,000
01/02 £29,300,000 £28,900,000
02/03 £27,050,000 £9,850,000
03/04 £13,350,000 £6,875,000
04/05 £21,350,000 -£7,600,000
05/06 £1,000,000 -£11,250,000
06/07 £4,100,000 -£2,400,000
07/08 £26,550,000 £39,120,000
08/09 £33,750,000 £117,900,000
09/10 -£64,500,000 £99,000,000
10/11 £13,550,000 £117,000,000
11/12 £38,150,000 £48,250,000
We didn't even outspend City for most of the 90s, nevermind the likes of Liverpool, Leeds and Blackburn. We had a period of financial supremacy over City starting in 98 (when they were in the third tier) and to a lesser extent the rest of the league shortly after the millenium, but it was a million miles away from City now.
