He responded that, "there are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially" and agreed with the idea that there is no ceiling to what those clubs are able to spend. Was he correct in his assessment? What do we make of the claims of xenophobia that came from Man City in response? Are oil-rich clubs warping modern football? We get into those and many other questions!--SPONSORS! Today's show is brought to you by...Helix Sleep!
