The key issue is that can sustain the level of spending as a club, protecting the club from going under. If the owners of Man City suddenly left they wouldn't be able to support themselves. At least with United they can spend big because they earned it, by winning things before.
Are you saying that none of these clubs were supported by resources beyond their means in prior years?

And as I said...it isn't fair play. It is merely making up rules to benefit a few people, mainly clubs who have built up support before.

Fair play it is not. If you want fair play...make the finances the same for all...but please don't call this set up fair play

Personally, if people want to spend their money...they are entitled.
