Liverpool boss Benitez: More pressure and problems for managers

Abu Dhabi United Group’s recent take-over of Manchester City is just the last of several take-overs by foreign investors.

“If the owners of the clubs keep on spending big, big money, then they will want more and more success. But how many teams can win the title? Just one,” Benítez told The Guardian.

“So the rest of the teams who spend big money, the owners will realise they haven’t won, so it could be more pressure and more problems for everyone.

“City will start the season under pressure from the first minute, but everyone knows you can’t win every game. It will be a problem because four or five teams will spend big money, and only one can win.”
