Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson issues warning to Manchester City
Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson has gone on to issue a warning to Manchester City, as the manager feels City’s luck in the league is about to run out. At the same time, he feels the team’s success, which was only made possible by their funding,
is about to run out.
Manchester City have gone on to spend a massive four hundred million pounds since the change in ownership at the club in 2008, but only have one FA Cup trophy to show for all their changes.
This season, things have been quite different for the blue side of Manchester, as the team is sitting on top of the Premier League table and is being hailed as one of the most lethal teams in the league.
Despite this fact, Ferguson isn’t too amused by his local rivals, as he feels their short term success was bought and it doesn’t ensure the team is going to do well in the long run.
The manager, when talking about his rivals is quoted to have said: "Yes, money can buy success as we saw when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 suddenly became cash rich.
"And we are witnessing a similar surge by Manchester City under their wealthy owners.
"Their transfer clout has taken them to the top of the league and they are favourites to win the title.”
The manager then went on to admit that when other factors came into play, City would be the ones who suffered, as their failure to focus on the long term goals is going to get the better of them.
"But, while recruiting some of the world's leading players can lift you into contention for honours, it doesn't necessarily take you all the way - as I hope we will be able to demonstrate before the end of the season as other factors come into play."
City are now level on points with United in the Premier League. With their goal difference being the only thing keeping them in the number one spot at the moment.
Should City fail to capitalize on their lead, they could easily slip up and see United take top spot from under their noses.
