This. They spent ridiculous amounts (that they admit to) and are suspected to have spent way more under the table to build up a massive infrastructure, academy, coaches etc; they want credit for only having to pay for upkeep in the last 5 years on the corrupt castle they built the prior 10 years.

More explicit- City's 'surplus' transfer fee balance does not account for the tens/hundreds of millions they've paid over and under the table.

This is possible. I used to think all this noise about Pep leaving after this year is because he knows the decision will be coming soon and wants to get out before the guillotine falls, but I suppose it's possible that they are spending like drunken sailors for that exact same reason.

I feel like they must know nothing is going to come of this, given they spent $500m in a year.

Exactly right.
City went to the Emirates, had basically one shot on goal, was fine with ~35% possession. Slot saw that, got no shots on goal, better possession but with effectively the same result.

I'm hoping that this reflects a psychological problem that will continue- if City know they are worse in the second half, and their opposition knows it (and both Brighton and Chelsea certainly acted that way), hopefully they continue to give up late goals and drop points.

Would have loved a win, but we were off it, didn't lose and still are at 86% chance. We 100% would have taken this position a few weeks back.

I forgot until this morning that there is a game basically every four days until mid-February (and that's been the case for about three weeks now).
Even if we get everyone back and we rotate like crazy, that is invariably going to lead to MORE injuries.

If we play bad next weekend and/or don't get a win, I'll start to get concerned.
Everyone looks exhausted. A week off should help. And it doesn't help that the two chasers are continually winning games they have no business winning.
