When you consider how much other Championship sides would give to achieve promotion, Tan showed a criminal lack of ambition and support for his team.
I'd love to know how you know that Tan did not spend enough. There was money for a striker last summer, City failed to land any of their targets due to deals between other clubs and the preferences of those targets to go elsewhere.

I agree that our transfer policy in both windows was dire and I'm definitely no fan of VT but there is no evidence that "Tan did not spend enough"
