The loans. I think we need to take a step back on the contributions to the shared salaries for loan outs and how we got to where we are. Numerous lazy commentators would have the world believe City are continually spending sugar daddy money when in fact the club is now self sustaining. Initial outlay to get the club rolling was necessary as was paying big salaries. Job done. Established.
That continues to this day. A necessary evil. Look outside the city and the Stretford Galacticos gradually abandoned pontificating hypocrisy to foot the biggest wage bill in England to try to win the league.
Pep Guardiola, a tougher operator than Mancio was has looked at the squad, particularly the old guard and made the hard decisions he is paid to. No room for sentiment. Nor time. We have seen at City how trying to keep everyone sweet takes away a cutting edge and I believe we lost a league season because of it. Better players who are not in Pep's plans are offloaded now whatever it takes rather than have them hanging about the campus fed up. Sure, they aren't clean offloads but we can afford it.
The new money pumping into the Premier League also means the likes of Ed Woodward and Txiki Berigstain can afford to make big purchase errors with less pressure.
We are at the top table now Blues and becoming an elite club. I guess these are the breaks.
