The Rich Got Richer When Manchester City Acquired Jack Grealish
There are many things that European sports leagues do right, but not having a salary cap is something that certainly hurts the parity of their leagues. Manchester City, having already been the most stacked team in England, threw even more money at England’s most expensive footballer when they signed Jack Grealish last week.
The move became the first €100m transfer in Premier League history, and now the 25-year old will make City an even bigger powerhouse club than they already were.
Even with the existence of super teams in American leagues like the NBA, you would never see a team be a minus-money favorite before the season even began, but that’s becoming commonplace in English League Soccer.
To be honest, with how stacked the club is, -130 might actually have some betting value before the season begins.
