I don't like the way City's fortunes have changed so suddenly with the arrival of new owners, but to focus our attentions solely on them and criticise their fans for enjoying it is unfair.
This summer we gained around £70m from player sales as well as trimming the wage bill a fair bit losing first-team regulars like Cesc, Nasri, Clichy and squaddies like Bendtner, Eboue, Denilson and others.

How much did we spend?

The exact figure doesn't matter - all you need to know is that it's nowhere near £70m. We're only hoping for the money we've generated ourselves to be used.
