Spending alone

     

   The temptation now would be to think they have to spend another 150 million pounds to redress the balance or to sack the manager to bring about changes," Neville wrote in his Daily Mail column.I think the feeling among the players last May may have been: 'Thank goodness! We've climbed the mountain! We did it!'" Neville said.But that way is addictive; just look at Chelsea. You continually need to spend 'just another' 150m pounds to keep up, or to sack 'just one more' manager to effect change.But you have to learn to be serial winners and United have done that over the years. Win or lose, the train doesn't stop. You have to keep going.If City's aim is to be truly great, they should match their rhetoric about building a long-term future and stick to the philosophy they now espouse.The two local rivals, who occupy the top two spots in the Premier League, clash on Monday with United 15 points clear at the top and virtually assured of the title.Neville, who combines commentary duties with a coaching role with the England national team, has blamed City's weak title defence on complacency, with the soon-to-be dethroned champions resting on their laurels.
