However, I don't think anyone can argue that City's squad is twice as good as ours.
My guess is that we intend to play in the tier right below the biggest 4 spenders and make up some of the difference with infrastructure (management, academy, etc). We're never going to complete for the title year on year - it's just not possible at all.
But we can have a run one of the next 5 years, win some cups etc.
