He did refer specifically that "this job is not easy to do with the budget we have". I don't think it's a moan, but then I'm not one of the 12 year old insecure possessive jealous girls who could not handle Gus referring to other clubs.
They're not really moans, but then neither often were Gus's. But because he was Gus (just like because Ashley Barnes is Ashley Barnes) the same EXACT things get twisted in a negative way.
If I can be bothered, I will find them. It was towards the end of the transfer window closing and many people commented on here about it, there was a number of threads re: "If GUS had said this..." etc.
