They have not even began construction due to burocratic problems and farmers oposition.

    So is Girona’s Cinderella year not just a product of them being a City Group owned team? Genuine question to those who know better, not an attempted slight against their success.

      They’ve been owned by City for a long time and even got relegated.

      They are really here on their own merit and Michel being a genius coach.

      They’ve hardly spent - they can’t really in La Liga

    Girona is an extremely underappreciated and underhyped team. They’re leading La Liga and we’re heading into December soon. I don’t see nearly enough people and media outlets talking about them.

    I have friends with a vacation home there. I went to visit them and you can buy tickets to their games super cheap at the receptionist for the gym there, and can even take a stroll by the training grounds. We didn’t play a lick of golf though.

    Honestly I’d be so excited to see a new team break into the upper crust in Spain (or anywhere in the world) but just like Leipzig, Newcastle, or City, it’s a bullshit rise fueled by financial injection. The players on Girona are doing a good job, full credit to them, but their rise can hardly be called organic.

    Oh well, maybe Rayo can finally push into Europe instead of choking in March this season

    This is the “small” team with the same owners of Man city?
