How Manchester City's spending reshaped their Premier League rivals

Original: Man City’s 2009-18 signings changed the fate of their Premier League rivals. No wonder they’re angry

Manchester City's signings between 2009 and 2018 are being credited with transforming the club into a dominant force and reshuffling the fortunes of other Premier League sides. The argument is that rival clubs' standings, transfers and fortunes shifted as City's Abu Dhabi-backed spending escalated, and that long-standing resentment among rivals is rooted in those years rather than recent events alone.

Why now: Ongoing scrutiny of Manchester City's finances has reignited debate among Premier League rivals about the impact of their decade of heavy spending.
