Manchester City<\/a> manager Roberto Mancini<\/a> has sent out a message to the upper management of the club that the recent spending must continue if success is to be achieved.<\/p>\n

City have spent a massive amount of money since Sheikh Mansour took over the club, through Mark Hughes’ time as well as after the arrival of the Italian.<\/p>\n

The former Inter boss has come close to wrapping up fourth place – and a qualifying spot to next season’s Champions League – as the Eastlands outfit are six points ahead of their nearest rivals Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n

Now the Italian has encouraged the upper echelon to continue a similar style of spending on transfer – as they have in recent transfer windows – to ensure that success is achieved.<\/p>\n

“For us to stay near the top for a long time was good,” Mancini said, according to The Sun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“But during a moment in the season, like February or March when we played Europa League, Premier League and FA Cup, we played every three days.<\/p>\n

“It’s very difficult if you don’t have a big list of players – it’s impossible to go on for the final of these cups and play for the title.”<\/p>\n

Mancini added weight to his belief by citing how arch-rivals Manchester United were able to play a changed line-up against Schalke and yet register a 4-1 victory.<\/p>\n

He added: “United will play eight or nine different players from the side that played Schalke for the match against Chelsea. They can make these changes and still win.<\/p>\n

“I think we have a good team. We should improve – if we buy other players – because when you play in the Champions League every team is strong.”<\/p>\n
