Yes, I'm sure our CEO sets the transfer budget purely to ensure we don't do well.
And man never landed on the moon.

When the colossus of football knowledge tells us that Nasty, Garcia, Rodwell & Sinclair were the signings to take the league champions to the next level - I am persuaded to believe that man has indeed landed on the moon.

Id' love to know whose decision it was to sign that illustrious quartet. We know for one it wasn't Mancini because of his hissy fit with Marwood at the time. You've left out Maicon from the list btw.

Having said that I'm yet to be convinced that for the money they cost Fernandinho, Fernando, Mangala, Jovetic and Navas are any better. And there in lies our problem not the manage; , unless of course he's chose them.

I think he was a Mancini pick albeit in desperation. Fernandinho has justified his fee I think and the rest still might.
Really hope so..

Isn't it obvious that once you have a winning team you don't overhaul it and replace it

Of course the transfer strategy changed once we had won a title, and then of course there's FFP

And to cap it all off, the transfer strategy worked because the test is not two successive matches but a season.

Txiki pulled the wool over the sheikh and khaldoon's eyes but not yours, eh George?

Check out the big brain on you. He spunked that £50 million up the wall on purpose and you got him nailed.

Why you edit your "wow"? :(

I'm thinking it was Marwood trying to please Soriano at that stage, your chronology needs some work.

FWIW I'm not sure how much managers can be held accountable for signings at City

Bar the odd specific request (Demichelis, Balotelli) targets were identified by a panel under Mancini and now by Txiki under Pellegrini

Also there are plenty of players who’ve moved this summer for fee’s we could have afforded (Fabregas, Costa, Sanchez) it may be wages that are holding us back.

But I don’t see why Chelsea or Arsenal can lay out on them while we have aa much higher turnover

It's not the club it's the city. London is a big attraction.

True, but f**k knows why, Manchester has everything London has, and its all local, unlike London.

To a foreign superstar, London is the capital city and in their minds it is the be all and end all.

when someone produces a certificate to prove your sanity I will credit the man who sets up "Numpties Anonymous" to provide you with the required therapy.

Surely you're the man for that job? The biggest numpty on the dingleberry bush. Anywy well done for coming out.

oh, you're talking to your reflection again, I thought they'd removed all the mirrors in the asylum to stop such occurrences.
