Is anybody here able to…

…Actually give a definitive explanation as to what the term financial doping means.

Is anyone here able to cite exactly where this term stemmed from and the reason why it came into being.

Two incredibly simple questions that (hopefully) every single person who has used the term is able to answer.

Ok, so the first two posters weren’t able to answer the question.

Anyone else?

City are only doing what humans have done for since time began, climbing over each other to get what they want , it’s up other teams to stop them that’s challenge it’s what makes it the game it is ,

3 dopey spurs fans coined the phrase , it means frustration

It is a bitter thing with them actually...Billy & Sandy are frequent users of said phrase

I think they're feeling a bit unloved.

The Yeovil pitch is level.

It’s the surrounding area that’s out of kilter

Financial doing is a term used by bitter people who see other clubs spending.

As someone who’s never used the term (and has probably never typed a comment on here about City’s spending that wasn’t a light-hearted joke), I think it’s pretty obvious?

The metaphor is clearly with sport and fitness. Putting the effort in over a long period to achieve muscle/fitness, that grows over time and builds on previous results, is not the same as pretty much waking up one day and having a lot of muscle/fitness that you didn’t have the day before because you’ve injected it in.

You can fit the two above scenarios to any clubs you like
