BOOKIES bet365 offer 11-10 for a Manchester one-two in the race for the Premier League title.
I’d say that was buying money – but City have already bought it all.
Sunday’s 5-1 romp over Tottenham at White Hart Lane suggests big-spending Roberto Mancini has finally found the answer to the age-old question: How many millions do I need to pump into my team to make Edin Dzeko look good?
The answer is £450million and counting.And what City fans are counting are their chickens.
You look through their team and it doesn’t seem to have a weakest link, though in Carlos Tevez it does have the missing link. Nine points from three games may sound healthy, but if I’d spent that sort of dough I’d be looking for at least 12.
Quotes of 250-1 for City to do the four-timer have a degree of appeal, but don’t quote me on that.Fixture pile-up won’t be a problem because City can put out two teams capable of beating anyone.
In fact, I reckon they’ll be putting out every team they meet.
Their big challenge is the Champions League, but only because their group rivals from Germany (Bayern Munich), Spain (Villarreal) and Italy (Napoli) could present dual-ownership problems for City supremo Sheikh Mansour, who intends to own all three countries by then.
City are 9-4 with bet365 to win more trophies than United this season, which deserves a trophy in itself for being the best
bet of the decade.
