Sir Alex Ferguson Slams Spending

Sir Alex Ferguson

Newly rich Manchester City tak­ing their sum­mer spend­ing close to the £130 mil­lion mark has left firebrand man­ager Sir Alex Fer­guson abso­lutely stunned. Accord­ingly, the Manchester United Head Coach has now launched a massive attack at the East­lands club by con­demning their spend­ing habits and lack of responsibility.

In their bid to pro­pel The Light Blues towards the top end of the top four, the Abu Dhabi United Group have spent almost £350 mil­lion since they acquired the club in 2008. By com­par­ison, Sir Alex Fer­guson has inves­ted a mod­est £25 mil­lion this sum­mer as he knows splash­ing out huge sums of cash is not the only way to ensure future suc­cess. The fin­an­cial dis­par­ity between Eng­lish foot­ball clubs has prob­ably never been greater, with a hand­ful of Premier League man­agers driv­ing up trans­fer prices in their des­per­ate quest for suc­cess. Des­pite of the fact that Manchester United have long held the upper hand in the Manchester intense rivalry, Manchester City now seem to march more or less stead­ily for­wards into their foot­balling future backed by own­ers Abu Dhabi United Group’s mil­lions. Nev­er­the­less, Italian man­ager Roberto Man­cini knows per­fectly well that Middle East­ern bil­lion­aires are not par­tic­u­larly known for their patience. Appar­ently, the indus­trial city of Manchester is a rel­at­ively exotic place to be at the very moment.
