Pint-sized wingman Shaun Wright-Phillips returned to Manchester City,
the club that schooled him, after spending three years at Stamford
Bridge outfit Chelsea.
Then followed an Arab takeover at
Eastlands, and the Abu Dhabi-based cash injection has now made
Manchester City the wealthiest side in the world.
Wright-Phillips
believes that as well as challenging Chelsea financially, it will only
be a matter of time before the Citizens can match the Pensioners on the
pitch.
City had been struggling to string a run of results
together since September, but the Blues will be hoping to use the
acquisition of Robinho, together with the 3-0 demolition of Arsenal, as
a springboard to greater things.
Moving On Up
"Yes [City can challenge Chelsea in the future], most definitely," Wright-Phillips is quoted by Sky Sports as saying.
"But it is not just something that is going to happen overnight," he warned.
"In
the future it is something that is possible and likely. The club - in
my eyes, and I think in the fans' and the owners' - can become a
massive club.
"City can go a long, long way and contend for a lot of silverware," he said.
City
are currently eleventh in the Premier League table and Mark Hughes will
be expected to guide the side to an improved finish from their
ninth-place position last season.
