And they have won.
They won a Premier League title. They also have an incredible win percentage alongside that.
I don't really believe in the idea that money guarantees flawless success, though. Nor do I think it overrides the need for a good coach. I don't particularly rate Mancini and thus I'm not surprised that City haven't kicked on and taken themselves to that next level with relentless consistency. Given time, however, I think Pelligrini can achieve that.
I also reject the insinuation that spending money means you can't lose games. Losing five matches in all competitions isn't terrible for a team in such transition, who've also struggled with constant injuries to their most influential player (Kompany).
I don't think you can replace Kompany, though. It's like if Gerrard got injured, or Vidic, or Suarez. You can bring players in, you can put Johnny Evans on, but it's never going to be the same as having Kompany there because he's that good. City have decent options in defence, but no team's going to have a player of similar quality to Kompany sitting as a squad player, no matter how much they spend.
Clegg do you know anything about Bath Rugby club and their history? Good players they've had? Iconic moments in their history? Doing something for work.
