City will win the EPL IMHO, clearly the best team.
By a mile, and to think it only cost them £1.1bn
I can't see anyone getting near them for the next 5 years at least or until the Arabs get bored and find another toy to play with
I think United will get back on terms but it might be one or two seasons as they are having to do it the hard way now. They've done the bonds, they've floated on the stock market so in reality their only option left now is top hope some other flash Harry comes along and buys up a majority share holding and pumps a billion in like at City.
In the meantime United are a moneymaking machine that generates enough to keep them afloat and dabble in the transfer market. Their problem is that Ferguson had a conveyor belt in place, needing to replace only one or two a year, and sell on enough to finance the conveyor, but eventually that system is going to need a much bigger injection.
Personally I think Ferguson could see what was coming and got out in time, being remembered as a winner. Poor old Moysey is left with a major rebuild.
My tip for the next two or three years is City, Chelsea, and then Liverpool, United and Arsenal battling it out for 2 places. When United get back on track I could see it City, then United and Chelsea in a two way tussle for 2nd and 3rd with the Gunners and Liverpool fighting for the last place.
