One thing to note is that the owner of Mancity's worth is $34bn and the owner of Newcastle's worth is $320bn! Almost 10 times that of Mancity's. So if Pep can spend around $200million on each window, they can easily spend $500 or maybe $1bn each window. I would kind of hate money taking over football but if money can increase the competitiveness of the league by adding another title-worthy team, I guess I'm all in for that. I'm eager to see Newcastle's transfers in the next few windows.
The competitiveness of a football league shouldn't be bought by money, there is no competition is money is what makes a league title contenders, Manchester city might be a team projected by money, but they have sustained themselves all the years, and if money becomes a thing then teams like Arsenal, Tottenham except bought by a ready to spend person might be in the bottom half. Am not in support of billionaires picking up a club and pumping money into it.
I do not agree with you. It is natural for rich clubs to recruit star players according to their abilities. And if the millionaires are the owners or investors of the clubs, then the competition between the rich clubs will increase. This is good for football. The wages of the players will increase as a result. Bayern Munich wins the Bundesliga title every year because they have money. If a millionaire buys a Bundesliga club and takes star players to his team, the competition for the title will increase. Isn't that good? I'm annoyed to see the dominance of certain teams, I want a new team to join the title fight.

Well, they have the ability so they could buy Mbappe, Haaland, Neymar, Kroos, and 10 more world-class players in the very next transfer window. I don't think if it's a thing or not, but maybe the league should apply some rules that each team cannot spend over a specific amount of money. That might help a bit with these cash-flowing guys taking over the teams.
