I'm sorry but you'll never be able to convince me that City legitimately overtook United as a financial giant in the span of a decade. Obviously they've grown in recent years and will continue to do so but to go from where they were in 2008 to now in such a quick amount of time? I'm not buying that

Liverpool overtook Everton in one decade back in the 60s-70s. Shankly as the recruiter and Sawyer as the man handling the finances were enough.

Nowadays, Man City with Pep as the recruiter and the City Group handling the finances overtook United.

Your last sentence explains it all, " City Group handling the finances." lol

Rich people invest money into football ---> football club wins and becomes a giant.
