City’s excessive spending and accumulation of coveted resources has led to unbridled success; City has won the Premier League in six of the last seven years, including each of the last four seasons along with a historic treble-winning campaign in 2022-23 as Guardiola finally led the club to European glory.

Beneath the surface, though, is a much darker and concerning picture.

Founded in 2013, the CFG now has 11 members - including Manchester City, Girona, and Troyes - across four continents, as well as a handful of other "partner clubs" in which the group does not hold direct stakes.

Two years ago, Savinho was a $13.6 million record signing for Ligue 1 club Troyes.

In his absence – while City won the treble – Troyes were relegated in 2022-23.

Savinho then joined Girona on loan for 2023-24, contributing 19 goals and assists to remarkably get the Spanish side into the Champions League.

Savinho's move around the City Football Group while one club - Troyes, the team that originally signed the Brazilian - struggled is a bad look.

Aaron Mooy signed for Manchester City from Melbourne City in 2016, but was immediately loaned out and sold the following year.

Whether their success is predicated on legal means or not - which certainly affected Klopp’s tenure at Anfield - City are favorites everywhere they go because the club can afford the world’s best coach to lead the world’s best players
