No, City. Because they won the title without earning it.
You know, what Vincent Kompany said was spot on. As kids, the majority of City players were poor - their ability in football took them out of that and now they're champions. Most of them are not bothered about the money, they just want to win. At the end of the day, they're footballers who won the league - if you're trying to say they didn't earn it based on some sour grapes about club turnover, it just seems petty.

Well it's not true, the Ronaldo money went to debt, but that's not important.
One sale, mainly because who else have Utd sold at a significant profit in the last few years? Can't think of many, can you? Lots of dregs like O'Shea, Bardsley and others. But not a lot of valuable sales.

United's post-Glazers I don't agree with, they have ruined the club. During the 90s though when United became dominant? Did they spend the most, yeah.
So it's all about the money money money? But it doesn't matter if it's not City.
QUOTE
But they also weren't in a debt going out of control.
Irrelevant. In every single way.

Under the Glazers they haven''t spend a crazy amount of money and have an overall profit on transfer dealings. It's just a shame what the Glazers are doing elsewhere.
Your 'condemnation' of Utd's currently atrocious business model is forced whereas you're passionately against City.
If Berlusconi shells out 100M on badly needed players, are you going to condemn him for buying the title if we win it next season?
Since that C Ron sale Utd have spent 15M on Valencia, 20M on Young, 20M on Jones, 20M on De Gea, 5M on Hernandez; about 80M. So that money, which at the time was supposed to go into creditors, ends up going back out on signings again.
