I think Goldbridge usually talks a bit of sense, albeit with the usual Manc folly of grossly overestimated their squad.
On this point, spending half a billion quid is the worst thing they could do. I don’t they could anyway, with how closely they skirt to PSR regs. But dropping another £500m on this planless, directionless, feckless squad would at this point do more harm than good. I don’t care how fucking rich they are. There are limits to what they can do. They have just flushed £500m down the pisser. They can’t keep doing that.
What they need at this point is a clear football direction. That needs to come before any massive spend.
Sure, this was the stick to beat with them in the past, but they finally have their football structure in place now after they prized the very highly respected Ashworth from Newcastle in the summer, so at least a big spend now would be done with a footballing plan in place.
They have 3 home games during the January transfer window, and should be able to get 2 wins (one is EL v Rangers). Unfortunate that they don’t have a PL home game in the last week, the atmosphere would be fantastic
