THE NARRATIVE #1 - Manchester City's Path to European Dominance

2026-10-11

1. Create a domestic dynasty through 900m pounds of financial cheating.

2. All but guarantee constant finishes in the Champions League spots while also challenging for the title.

3. The year before you get caught hire Enzo "Knockout-Sucess" Maresca and revamp your team with young players.

4. Attempt to get away with it. (again.)

   4a. If you get away with it continue as before. :).

5. If your appeal fails and you are given point deductions that ensure that your domestic season no longer matters, begin to apply the PSG model of Champions League success.

   • The PSG Model - If you can afford to rest your best players during domestic competition, do so to maximize fitness for European Competition.

6. Win the Champion's League.

7. Since your points deduction will get you kicked out of the top flight and winning the Champion's League will ensure you a spot in next year's competition, you will be able to continuly apply the PSG model since your domestic competition will be much easier.

8. Win consecutive Champion's Leagues.

9. ???

10. Profit.
