i think what gets peoples back up is not only the spending but the crude style of football Jose plays. he has had the money at his disposal to purchase the creme of attacking players but his teams continually play the dullest football imaginable. At least City are giving it a go with being entertaining. Stacked up against the constant big mouth moans off the pitch whilst his teams drill their way to success, season after season, Jose brings the criticism upon himself. He has no excuse to spend so much yet produces such droll football. Fergie made the most of his money, of course his team were minted but you can at least offer a begrudging note of admiration for someone who has something to show for all the money spent.
