Tottenham Boss Redknapp Bemoans Manchester City's Spending
Harry Hotspur has said a thing or two about the phenomenal amounts of money that Man City have been throwing at prospective transfer targets.
Jul 4, 2009 5:09:16 PM
Tottenham Hotspur gaffer Harry Redknapp has admitted that Manchester City's spending power has left the rest of the Premier League in their monetary dust.
It is probably safe to assume that the 62-year-old's criticism of City's flagrant flaunting of their assets is partly down to the fact that the Eastlands outfit beat him to the punch twice during this summer's transfer window.
Losing out to the Citizens in the race for Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry, The Mail quote Redknapp as feeling like the whole scenario is becoming unfair.
"City have blown us out of the water. The wages they offer have gone sky high," Redknapp said.
"Regarding two of the players we were strong on, in the end we could not compete with Manchester City. They are working on another level with the wages they can offer.
"There is no doubt City are making it very difficult for the rest."
