Manchester Cheaty says

I despise them as much as everyone else here but they really are a great manager and great SD away from being back. They've not had either since Fergie left.
When you have limitless pots of cash it's only really a matter of time. People said that Qsg would never win the Champions League and look what happened.
It's an absolute miracle they have been as shite as they have after spending 2 billion in the last decade.
City are City precisely because they have run themselves as Barça-lite, not simply as a billionaire’s toy. Look what happened when the Qataris stopped with the United Way and actually got a coach and rid themselves of prima donnas
A billionaire like the Yank in Chelsea runs it like an American franchise throwing money left & right, ManYoo are led by Yank speculators who rinsed their debts with ManYoo’s marketing dominance and realized they don’t have to do anything sporting wise than tread water. Fans can do what they like but the billionaires are still making their money
At least Inter for example while run by a distressed debt fund is gearing up for a sale to a billionaire even though Oaktree is not interested in the sporting side of football - they look to make a profit, not win trophies
So where does that leave ManYoo? They don’t have a billionaire ownership that is interested in trophies, only money and normally you’d need to be successful to continue it…unless you are a marketing behemoth that will churn revenue even when treading water as they have for 13 years now
City, of course, will be derailed once Pep and any of the rest of the Barça management exit and they too will eventually suffer
