What exactly is “cheque book management”?
You mean like in our FA Cup quarter final comeback, in the Newcastle game where a point was desperately needed, away at an Arsenal that needed a win just last week. Or maybe you mean earlier in the season snatching points against Fulham, Southampton, Hudddersfield, Arsenal after being behind.
We aren’t great but let’s keep the criticism factual.

Fair point. I suppose the money hasn't really had that big an influence on the Man City success story. Stuff of dreams. Smaller clubs like Salford city should take influence. If they can do it, anyone can.
Klopp has spent 400 million at Liverpool, why would this have been a massive achievement

....and the eyes of the world were upon us, we started quite well but after that there would have been Africans watching in their dung huts thinking ' I could finish my roof off with this team'

Or to summarise, ManC and PSG’s player budgets has been illegally boosted by income not earned in a fair commercial means, giving them both far better squads that if they’d complied like Arsenal and the rest.

Did you whine in seasons in the Championship when we outspent Yeovil, Rotherham and Doncaster?

Thanks, I will, although I’m not sure I’ll learn anything new.
It was the ‘management’ comment I was questioning, then realised you were talking about the club and not the team.
My mistake, sorry.
Which FA, FL, UEFA rules/laws did we break?

No I was too busy moaning about the teams with parachute payments
We have come back in those games, but I'm just talking about the feeling around the ground and in the team I sense. When we concede heads do definitely seem to drop to me. The Amex used to be a fortress where no team looked forward to coming, but we have made it all too easy for pretty lowly sides in the 2nd half of the season and again today, once we scored we could have shaken them up a bit given what was at stake, but it was all too easy in the end.

It’s quite difficult to win a league that you aren’t in.
T'is a shame we can't anoint the champions every week.
That was the most civilised, its ever been, leaving the AMEX

I am very impressed that the team that has spent by far the most money has done so well.

So it is ok for us to outspend clubs but not for others to outspend us.
It was a joke
