Your channel is criminally underrated. I have learnt so much of the past from your videos. Well explained well scripted,edited etc. Finally a video on Man City💙🤟
I love how you mentioned that Man City had success in the past while showing a clip of their 1969 FA Cup win, too many people repeat the same tired narrative that they have no history and were born in 2008, the same applies to Chelsea and PSG before their takeovers.
@@venetoxyt8332 History is history. It's not always glorious, not always successful. In sporting terms, it's often cyclical with success coming in fits and starts. Even United, Liverpool and Arsenal have had their days in the doldrums.
@@bipin249 Ok so Chelsea and City have had more success in recent years, so what? History means nothing in terms of performance in the present. No disrespect to the likes of Arsenal, United and Liverpool but to be honest, I imagine having more money than other teams was probably a fair part of their successes back in the day, especially in the 80s and 90s as the commercial side of things started to gain importance.

In the five seasons before Abramovich took over they finished 3rd, 5th, 6th, 6th and 4th. It wasn't as though they came from absolutely nowhere. Yes the money helped a lot, but it would've helped any team a lot.
You should do a brief history of Tottenham Hotspur: Their success in the past, the failure to succeed in recent history and how close they have gotten compared to their rivals who have been able to get over the line.
I remember being at the Sunderland - Manchester United game, the atmosphere was so tense. All the MU players were clapping after Aguero got that winning goal during the City game. Sunderland fans screaming whatever it was again, all in payback of when we beat City during that same season. Bittersweet. All in good faith, though, nice job to City ever since that - maybe you guys will win a Champions League eventually.
yes so sunderland are not a legendary team, neither are norwich and nottingham forest who have won what you have not won yet even after having a good squad and spending more than a billion pounds
Seriously one of the best footy channels on UA-cam, hope your channel keeps growing & gets the attention it deserves. I sent your videos to my friends, you should have at least 100k subs
See I’ve grown up in my household as the only Manchester City fan tackling my Manchester United fan based parents and siblings I have now uncovered from Football Iconic the deep history of a club I’ve supported from the beginning without a second thought and one I’ll support until the end of my days...seeing the lows from before I entered the world, seeing the desire of Man City to achieve greatness, and to see us now dominating for a video long overdue I must say thanks for the past fans, managers, owners of the club and icons that believed in our club💙 for you have impact a lot of City fans life seeing that you guys never ceased to believe in Manchester City in the of drought you have given me and other fans the true meaning of being a Manchester City fan..watching the history shown from our succession and struggles in 1904 to present gave me goosebumps and had me very emotional especially the scene of the 2011-2012 season made me feel I was right there; present in the moment.

i still get goosebumps watching the qpr title decider. and in all honesty, I think at least for me in the modern era of man city, the 2012 side will always rank as number one. and not because of the quality in the side, or how fantastic of a manager Mancini is, but rather because of the milestone they achieved for the club and what happened thereafter. the mystique around that side is something that is just unquantifiable.
And to think that if Ballotelli had been rightly sent off, like he should of been against Tottenham earlier in the season. That moment probably would of most likely never of happened.
I was introduced to super Mario in 2011 and started following him, football, and Man City. It s a sore sight to see how Super Mario went ahead, but the team has only grown ever since. Been a follower of Man City over a decade now and boy that's a hurricane 🌀
I started following city because of Aguero Balotelli and Tevez when I first got into football, it hurt like hell to see Aguero go but I love a city have become hopefully we can get our first CL soon 🙏🏽 😂
Awesome channel. I stumbled onto it completely by accident on a suggestion after watching an HITC Sevens video and absolutely love your content. One quick note though, at 09:46 you showed a list of players that were bought ahead of the 08/09 campaign and suggested that they were bought after the takeover. Zabaleta and all the names before him, in particular Kompany, were bought before the takeover, not after.
Almost 10 years and my eyes still fill with tears of joy when i remember that aguero goal. Happy retirement legend. Manchester will always love you and will always be your home.
"clubs are not punished for breaking the law - they are punished for beimg found out". Well that goes for any and every law that has come into existence.
I know people criticize us for lots of things but this man Sheikh Monsieur saved the club and that is something that some owners don't care about, just like Abramovich for Chelsea they really were patient and just let the years go by until real success came in, gotta appreciate the effort at least.
That goal that sent united to the second division is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂 made funnier cuz the guy that scored was a united LEGEND lmaooooo que Viva El futbol 😁😁
I am a United fan but I hope City can win a Champions League, they deserve after suffering they had when i was growing up in the 90's and most of the noughties too.
Mannnnn trust me you gotta do it, I begrudgingly watched the chelsea and united ones 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 it was a nice little nostalgia trip of when I started enjoying the game ❤❤
There just lottery winners, not a pound of that money was earned by the club, they should enjoy it while it lasts and then go back to the championship where they belong
amazing video bro. well done and the mancity team built something and now they are champions once again and about to make history by winning the champions league as well. wow
For a purely football stand point we all have to admit that big clubs like United have heavy influence over the rules created and basically have locked out any other club getting the status they have and share with the big clubs. So this is basically the only way to get to United’s level in the modern game and it’s just nice to an extra team provide competition. Even if the other big clubs are bad at investing the billions they have
Most teams who have won the league bought it, with the exception of Leicester, all the other clubs were rebuilding, and the stars just aligned for them. A one off, we will not see for decades.
14:54 LOL one can actually appreciate Dzeko face, plastered in anger ! ManCity s own investigation cncluded that Carlos did not re3fuse to play, just to keep warming up.
On the same note. If COKE wants to spray their name on my door n pay me a million, authoririties can say no, not fair play, cos neighbours don't have? So why can't they go find Pepsi or NIKE!😊😊
Manchester United & Arsenal are the only clubs that have won the premier league more then once, although there are small clubs that have indirectly bought the title more then once with money that the club did not earn at all, if EPL clubs were human it would definitely have champions who would say they are male but wouldn't be able to rightly call themselves men.
Money isn't everything & United have proved that. You've got to spend smart & for players to be on board not only for the money but also for the glory of winning. 💙💙💙
@@Qlicky money allows you to have a better chance at picking the player you want, however you must use your resources efficiently, which is why I can point out Manchester United, compared to Manchester City.
@@Emperor-Inker The only reason City is using money 'efficiently' now is because they created this mess, where mediocre players cost 30m, to begin with. Same goes for Chelsea. And Im not even a United fan. When Chelsea and City got to their bottomless cash pits they overpaid for EVERY single player they got. Which is complete opposite of efficiency. Because, why would you go to City, who were nobodies at the time, when you could go to Barcelona and Bayern?! Simple, money. Lots of it. In other words, NO amount of efficiency would have made Chelsea and City to what they are now without throwing obscene amounts of cash. As for United. If they didn't spend obscene amounts of money they would have been relegated by now. So even in their case money worked wonders. Just not as good as it did for other teams.
@@Qlicky if you actually look at transfers from before Manchester City & Chelsea got took over, you would notice that transfers were already climbing before. So when these American owners put money into their clubs with their over inflated currency (due to it being the world currency) I guess that's okay, but because Russian are bad & we look down on Arabs, however we want both of their oil it's only okay when we take their oil but not okay for them to spend or invest with it. 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@Emperor-Inker Transfers were always climbing throughout footballs existence, like everything else. That's not the point. The point is Chelsea and City started paying players double what they were worth when they got the money. I never said Arabs or Russians were bad, that's something you said and understood from my comment. I'm only talking about money here. And even if the money fell from the sky, my point would still stand.
No,they bought it.If they were good enough they would have won it before the takeover..Leicester City's first choice team in 2016 cost 25 million,that's winning it !
Cant wait to see your "Did Newcastle buy the League" vid in a few years 😂
If only Newcastle stay in the league. They are most likely to be relegated.
Which title?
Can't wait to see his "Newcastle, the new Malaga" video in a few years
Also United spends millions and doesn't win the league.
Not gonna happen they’re going down
