Simon Jordan DEFENDS Man City's Spending & PRAISES The 'REMARKABLE' Manager, Team & Performances 👏 

It’s always been about money , even when Fergie was in charge

Biggest wage bill in the league is Man United not city???

Peps spot on about Man U and Chelsea

Actually Simon - Utd have the highest wage bill and City are 2nd.....

As if Simon has any credibility left. He changes his mind on the daily

People who say it’s boring are just jealous of Manchester City.

Manchester United has the biggest wage bill in the league and not City.

You said their manager is a cheque book one and you don't rate him, maybe you forgot what you say sometimes

Just to correct Mr Simon Jordan the biggest wage Bill in the league is Man united.

440 mil wage bill? more like less than half i think it just scracthes 200mil but even then its still slightly less than uniteds and only slightly above arsenal

City fans never argue that it's not about money, it is of course. What we want is for other teams to admit the same instead of believing myths that any success their own team ever had was achieved by finding orphans abandoned outside their ground, signing them up for 50p, paying them in bags of crisps and waving the magic football wand over them. Any mid table club that wants to compete at the level City are at will need a similar amount of cash injected to mitigate the money generated over years of success by the handful of traditionally dominant clubs. It's the cost of doing business at that level. I hope that City's dream comes true for some other clubs. This is part of the romance of the game surely? If it does happen to let's say the likes of Sunderland or Leeds and Jordan wants to contemptuously disrespect them by saying they're 'manufactured' I suggest he avoids both cities. If anything City fans whose club attracted 27k per game in the third tier have been overly kind to him and admirably tolerant of his mendacious twaddle. Jordan's own team, Crystal Palace have never achieved an average attendance over 27k since the time of his ownership to the present day.

biggest wage bill for 2024 is Manchester United

Was United built on a rich butchers money, then Sky money? Was Liverpool built on Littlewoods Pools and Catalogue money? It's a similar in every era. Money gets you the talent and resources needed to get the best players and training facilities

This season you can’t blame city for winning it again. It’s arsenal and Liverpool’s fault

Liverpool came from the old second division in the 60s because of Littlewoods money, united from money from becoming a PLC, Chelseas from Roman's money, Blackburn from Walkers money, football is and always will be about investment.

Loads of clubs have had new investors & had a brief amount of success. Fulham were up there for a minute. Now it's Newcastle & folk love it. It's great when it's any other club but not when it's City. City have just done it better. When these phoney charges are cleared they should officially be crowned the GOAT.

Simons downfall continues

Simon Jordan turning into David Brent <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="346">5:46</a>

I seem to remember in the 90's Man Utd were spending the most when they were winning titles, then Chelsea took over when they started spending more

What a bunch of clowns! Utd in the last decade spent MORE i repeat MORE money than City! Difference is City bought Ruben Dias for less money than Maguire,Rodri for less than Pogba,Bernardo Silva for less than Mount,and the list goes on and on!

The problem we as CITY fans with Simons opinions are...Their is always a cavier to end with his opinion on city but never when it comes to other top six teams...

If it was solely based on money then we (Chelsea) and United should have won the title over the last 4-5 years. How you spend the money is critical and city have spent it bloody well.

Who cares about being respected. Being feared is better than be respected and everybody fears City. That’s more than enough.

The taps on the table from pep killed me man😂😂😂😂

Its an extremely childish argument CITY WINS= MONEY CITY DOESNT WIN = MONEY DOESNT BUY TROPHIES

Talksport repeating the same topic for the whole season🙄🙄

So it's okay of its English money like Liverpool did when they where in the second tier out spending in the league above them on the run to their success? But not when it's Middle Eastern money? Colonial mentality at its finest. Also, Utd has the highest wage bilk in the Premier league. 😂

Simon Jordan bang on the money again.

Simon Jordan hasn't a clue

Simon doesnt know the difference between Abu Dhabi/UAE and Saudi Arabia and also the fact that Man United has the biggest wage bill in world football.

City players work harder than anyone, they are consistsnt, they have more desire and that has nothing to do with money

Was Liverpool built on Littlewoods pools money... Yes they was.

Pep, the greatest manager to ever manage in England.

United, Liverpool and Chelsea have spent more than City.. Let's stop creating false realities of City spending 10 billion

Talksport isn't the place for sensible dialogue about football. It's nothing more than an outlet for controversial takes to provide clickbait material.

Everyone knows City wouldn't be a big gun without oil money, but no way all this current success is just down to money. This is about Pep. If a billion pound squad guaranteed you titles, why are Chelsea only fighting for a Europa League spot? And why haven't Man Utd won the Prem for 11yrs? Without Pep, Liverpool would be dominant no matter how much money Abu Dhabi threw at their squad.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="188">3:08</a> should be a compliment. Tesco should take note

Let's put respect to City and Pep

Undoubtedly the PL is a greatly successful product but its also the reason for the national side underperforming. One season left with Pep, enjoy it while you can.

Pep in a séance had me dying laughter😂😂😂

Do mention city turnover. More than 700 million a year Over 15 top clubs have ex city acadamy players all sold at profit 3 of the city players last night v spurs cost 15 million yes 15 million for 3 of last nights team. Is that a lot of money no. Oh city have one of the smallest squads in the league 22 players 6 of whom cost zilch

Be careful for deformation Jim everyone is innocent until proven guilty so don’t land your self in contempt !!!

Simon is right just so many sour grapes who cant stand to lose and would rather dumb down city's achievements for being smart. It wasnt cash that won them the league but 11 players with a bloody good coach without peers in the league and it hurts most.

You generally need money and alot of it to be continually successful but rightly said it's not all about that. City haven't spent as much as other teams over the most recent period but have won more than anyone by a country mile. Even if all the top clubs had spent exactly the same we would either see City being even better or the other teams being worse, either way City would still be winning. That comes down to how the money is deployed, who is making decision and who is trusted to carry out the objectives. City have been best in class for years and that is down to people doing their jobs at the highest level, has nothing to do with if Mancini was paid more than was was reported or if sponsors were spending more than was reported. The best thing to happen to every other club was City to get charges (alot of which are hilarious and will be thrown out and others have to be proven) as fans and media can just throw out "115 charges" as an excuse rather than looking at themselves (which I bet if the PL did they'd find charges they could throw at everyone). Get good or get gone.

i agree

I am trying to understand simons point .... I think he agrees pep is the best at what he does don't you think you should demand the most money you can earn, to simon he will be the best manager if he was working for free

Everything’s about money. We are all on this planet to earn as much MONEY as we possibly can!

People take offense because when liverpool win even a carabao cup they are the best team and when city win a treble they did it with money. If all the big 6 clubs have money then money should not be the measure of success

Lol the biggest wage bill is Man United....😅😅😅

It’s always been about money (even back in the day perhaps) and you’re kidding yourself if you think it’s not. Finally someone says it. The top clubs in each league has waaaaay more of it comparatively than the rest. Does it mean it guarantees success not always but that’s where management steps in and there’s only a few like Pep that can achieve it. Not even a City fan but do admire what they’ve been able to do consistently 😮 There are outliers to this statement (a team outside of the big six or four or whatever it is now) but that’s seldom if ever true.

Man city don't have the biggest wage bill actually Simon. Fact check

Anybody who thinks Mc Allister should really have cost less than Nunes at City is silly. You can only spend what's quoted. The quality of players aren't really less

All the top clubs have big backers. 💷💷💷💷

Abu Dhabi money . Saudhi money. But American dollar is ok 😅😅. Nice

Man City ain’t got the biggest wage bill either so again wrong facts that title is currently held by united FACT !!!

Biggest wage bill for the 2023/24 season is Manchester United, he should talk about facts and leave his wishful thinking to one side. By the way utd wrote the book on sugar daddies starting as early as 1902.

Waiting for mr Krabs to burst in…did somebody mentioned MONEY 🦀

So now money isn’t a bad thing because other clubs are spending more than City 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's also called rules, it's not the wild west ffs.

Name me a top premier league club who hasn't got money?

‘Only Ange will know by full time?’ Erm nah we’ll all know at that point

Highest wage bill for 2022/23 season? Yes. Man City won the treble and had to pay out big bonuses. Take the bonuses out and Man City do not pay the highest basic wages.

Best team in Premier League History, 6 out of 7... Farmers league at this point

Simon just goes against the norm the create content. Its old now

Funny how mr beans love-child is never around when it's city under the microscope

We are only 2nd in the wage League because of the bonus payments due to winning the Treble You Thick failed club owner

I don't know but i think Winning Three in a row twice is harder than 4 in a row.

As humans it makes sense to bring the best into such a sport as well as other places. You do it and people start complaining. You want to massage a players mind till its all marshmallow and squidgy? It will cost you. Business is business and money makes the world go around as it is at the moment. What is needed in life and knowing how to go and get it.

It is about money. No guarantees Klopp would do same at Man C or Pep would achieve at Livepool.

Built on Abu Dhabi money ? Every club has been built on money. Liverpool in the seventies and Utd in the eighties and nineties bought all the best players.

What 😲 Simon Jordan backs city... 😂

Hardly 'remarkable' is it now 🙄

Man United has a 205M wage bill this season

They have bunch of overpayed players. Those who came on Camel and pumped money in those club with 0 tradition,that club will not have bright future.

City don't get enough respect. If theywin the league they ARe the best English football team ever. First ever domestic treble, which itself is't lauded enough. Matched United's treble, and then four leagues in a row, which is unprecedented in England.

The reason Fergie, Wenger & Abramovich didn’t win 4 in a row was because they didn’t have access to the weakest era in Premier league history. The next four teams after City have one title in the last 20 years. That tells you everything. Those 3 other teams were around together so they canceled each other out.

The money clubs like Arsenal are spending now is not even close to the quality of what city where spending to get the best at the time they were spending it. Even now that clubs luke Arsenal are spending to catch up, Man city is still buying a defender for 77M.

😂😂😂I like Simon man

Then if we are going to use that argument that “ it is all about money”, then why people are crying foul when people spend their money to get the best coach / manager and got good players ( i would argument that Pep didnt buy the best players in their positions in the world , he bought the best players according to him that would play his style of football or philosophy). Yes it is all about and it is business, now in any kind of business deals its rare to find morals or people with conscious. So people must not play angels and say City did not do thing the “ right “ way. I would agree with Pep before FFP every team that had money was gunning or chasing the best players and unfortunately those are the teams he mentioned including spanish teams and italian teams. And the is a reason why FFP came along its because Fifa wanted fairness in the sport. Well in sport the is no fairness, you do whatever you can to gain an advantage to your opponent or opposition. Its a game and you so whatever you can to gain and advantage and win. Thats why teams chase the best players and managers. 🤷🏽‍♂️

So in the same day he defends the cheaters and also said Emery could get sacked next year, go have a lay down Simon.

now we are babbies because we were pointing out that you shouldnt count us out. Dont change your tune now keep the same energy you silly goat

Fake title? 😏🤣

City are not known as Gods own team for nothing.

He’s not wrong. Arsenal fans think they’re the “underdogs” and doing something special. No you’ve just spent ridiculous money 🤣

Everythings about money hence why the pgmol kept liverpool down, cant show its not all about money...

Man United and Arsenal built on USA money.. so football is always about investment

Was Arsenal and Liverpool built on American money yes it was and the list goes further with Europeans money. Your agenda on Arabs countries and Russia won’t destroy their clubs. Small minds gossip , medium minds discuss events and big minds discuss ideas . Man city owners are big minds. Your English media should first evolve to medium mind this century and let’s hope as an auditor in a millennium you can evolve to big minds. 😊

I love pep but yes it the money and players you brought to build the squad. Give it time and more signings Arsenal and Chelsea will over take city

Sooner people come to terms with how boring football is the better.

There is no guarantee in football if you have money. But you need money! And then you need a manager as Pep. City is the best football style in world football. And successful. Only when they are stupid in penalties they are out. This is PL and not Scottish Carot League,Croatian League or Ligue PSG!!! The most difficult league in the world. All the opponents of City plays and stays with 11 players in his own half. You have to break and destroy that.This is really difficult because 90% of the teams are counterattack teams like Real,Arsenal or Hotlosers. Only Liverpool not. Therefore Klopp Liverpool against Pep City was the biggest match in World Football. Both played attacking football. Not Barca against Real because Real plays always counterattacking football in these matches. City is the number 1!!! If you want the PL-you have to let City behind you. The FA Cup and CL the same situation. That is the truth!!!

Mr Cuardiola, you are *not* the best couch .. but your team has a lot of money to buy you the best players - finish n klaar

But it is completely fine when it comes from Western money? Where did Western wealth originate from? Now it’s all of a sudden better than money coming from non Western countries?

Money is money Simon. It's a little xenophobic when you keep mentioning where the money comes from. The American oligarchs have taken over English football but no one is talking about it. Pep is right, if it was all about money man united and Chelsea would still be winning over everybody else. It takes money to complete with the likes of real Madrid etc

Pep GOAT

How did Arsenal bribe There way into the League was that with farthings ? Or pound notes

No, football is about football but for all the people who dont really care that much about football and can see it gets ALL the attention, for those people its about money. Also known as heartless wankers.

Spurs gunning for City really typical talksport click bait.😂

City need to stop sending 115 and their wage bill out on the field to beat every other team ,time they start sending football players out on the pitch ,these 115 charges is playing better football than Messi , Renaldo , not to mention the subs , the biggest wage bill , I think they play better than the 115 who is the starting eleven , envy is killing the football spirit , there was no breach of financial fair play when Manchester united has all the biggest name in football playing at Manu at the same time ,as soon as the European own clubs can't win a trophy , financial fair play is the problem , past ten years these top four as they are called ,spend over two and half billion dollars on players , what has they got to show for their billions ,only the 000,000,000,

MAN UNITED HAVE THE HIGHEST WAGE BILL JORDAN !! DO YOUR F###### HOMEWORK BEFORE TALKING !!

City have not beaten us our scored a goal at our new ground yet.
