Lescott: Spending critics motivate City

Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott admits the growing criticism of the club’s big-spending methods to achieve success are a motivating factor for the players.

City recently posted losses of £121m (€138m), which does not include over £100m (€114m) spent in the summer which took transfer spending at the club since Sheikh Mansour’s takeover to £326m (€372m).
