How Did Manchester City Win Their First Premier League Title? [How Good Were They Before 2012?]

Manchester City are officially the second most successful team in Premier League history, with 5 titles to their name (joint with Chelsea). Quite a crazy fact, if you think about it.
However, their upward trajectory and overall dominance has not always been the norm. So how good were Manchester City before they won their first Premier League title.
And even more so, how did they accomplish this feat?

@@bipin249 Ok so Chelsea and City have had more success in recent years, so what? History means nothing in terms of performance in the present. No disrespect to the likes of Arsenal, United and Liverpool but to be honest, I imagine having more money than other teams was probably a fair part of their successes back in the day, especially in the 80s and 90s as the commercial side of things started to gain importance. Chelsea's major honours list before Abramovich: First Division: 1954-55 FA Cup: 1969-70, 1996-97, 1999-00 League Cup: 1964-65, 1997-98 Cup Winners Cup: 1970-71, 1997-98 In terms of other trophies: Second Division: 1983-84, 1988-89 Full Members Cup: 1985-86, 1989-90 Community Shield: 1955, 2000 UEFA Super Cup: 1998 Granted in the eyes of the likes of Arsenal, United and Liverpool, it's pretty mediocre but most team's records are quite frankly, mediocre in comparison to those three and overall I'd say Chelsea's is fairly respectable. Besides, in the few years before Abramovich took over I'd say that Chelsea were starting to establish themselves among the top teams in the league. In the five seasons before Abramovich took over they finished 3rd, 5th, 6th, 6th and 4th. It wasn't as though they came from absolutely nowhere. Yes the money helped a lot, but it would've helped any team a lot.

Sunderland fans screaming whatever it was again, all in payback of when we beat City during that same season. Bittersweet. All in good faith, though, nice job to City ever since that - maybe you guys will win a Champions League eventually.

One quick note though, at 09:46 you showed a list of players that were bought ahead of the 08/09 campaign and suggested that they were bought after the takeover. Zabaleta and all the names before him, in particular Kompany, were bought before the takeover, not after.

i still get goosebumps watching the qpr title decider. and in all honesty, I think at least for me in the modern era of man city, the 2012 side will always rank as number one. and not because of the quality in the side, or how fantastic of a manager Mancini is, but rather because of the milestone they achieved for the club and what happened thereafter. the mystique around that side is something that is just unquantifiable.
