Given that they spent over a billion on players BEFORE the spending limits came in J would say NO !


I recall them buying TWO left backs and TWO right backs for around £200 million at one point ( Kyle Walker was one of them )

Yeah but City got and spent ooodles of cash on players before all the regulations were introduce thereby giving them a massive advantage over everyone since then

Look at supposed the wealthier club in world football… Newcastle have a limitless amount of money yet can’t spend it
