Pep Guardiola: Manchester City manager challenges critics over club's spending
Pep Guardiola handed £100m signing Jack Grealish his Manchester City debut in the Community Shield defeat by Leicester at Wembley last week
The Liverpool manager said his club could not be compared to City because "obviously they have no limits"."We have limits because of FFP," said the City boss. "We are on the same page like everyone. After that, each club decides what they want to do. Every season we have passed the controls that are there for everyone. If we are wrong, prove it.
"Before it was one club, or two, or two and a half. Then other clubs arrived - Chelsea with [Roman] Abramovich, us with Sheikh Mansour. They want to be in this world. What is the problem?"For many, the problem is that City's spending threatens to take them so far clear of almost every other club that meaningful competition becomes impossible.
