This has been essentially my argument since the charges landed.
When the big clubs spend big money poorly, it is completely glossed over when those signings don’t result in trophies.
United, Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal all make signings from £70m upwards and no one bats an eyelid. It’s completely disregarded that City are spending just as much as anyone else but because those teams don’t win trophies then it’s perfectly fine.
