If City win the league, everyone just says, "well, what are you going to do". If Arsenal win the league, that makes people sit up and pay attention. It's a legitimate win. No one will question whether we've engaged in dodgy financial manueuvers or whether a nation-state paid Havertz's dad 200k a week. They feel threatened because it'll be the first legitimate champion in years besides Liverpool.
That raises an interesting question though, why did Liverpool not receive that kind of treatment during the years they were going toe-to-toe with City?
