Pep Guardiola took issue with the claim that money is behind Manchester City's success, but the financial figures prove it was not a level playing field for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool

No sooner had Pep Guardiola held aloft the Premier League trophy for the sixth time, the fourth time in a row, that the conversation predictably shifted to money.

Man City’s dominance has been a recurring theme. Last year Guardiola finally delivered the Champions League success that the club and owners, the Abu Dhabi-based City Football Group , had craved ever since Sheikh Mansour’s firm acquired City back in 2008. "They spend as much money in the last five years as us. They should be there. They are not there. For that reason Girona shouldn’t be in the Champions League and Leicester should win the Premier League."

To look at the bigger picture, and how the CFG money has transformed Manchester City, a club that now has revenues of £713m, the biggest in the Premier League, shows that Guardiola’s short-term look at spending doesn’t really tell the full story, and it is the earlier years that is the subject of major focus for the Premier League with regards to the 115 charges.
