We just need to worry about ourselves that's all that matters and for me that has been a weakness of the club.
We seemed to have been scared of spending and what the reaction of football thinks of doing that.
Not sure it's right to frame it as being scared.
I do think they were aware and conscious of all the criticism and the jibes of spending money.
We've all heard and seen the description of us as moneybags City, pundits mentioning the cost of the bench and Pep described as a chequebook manager. All bullshit and applicable to many sides and not just us, but we know how the redshit media operates.
So over the past 5 years City have made sure that we aren't the biggest spenders and still won everything.
I think they would have liked those facts to shut up the detractors. However it's made no difference. We're still criticised as big spenders even though recently we're not.
This season though, the tightening of the belt has led to problems.
So, I think the club should say, fuck it, let's spend like the Champions that we are. We've earned it, so lets spend it!
