The point he made, that City have spent less in the past five years than Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal*, is a statement of fact. The headline is not something he said, but written by some sub-editor at the BBC. Here is what he actually said:

“Man United should have won all the titles – all of them. And the second, Chelsea all the titles. And the third, Arsenal all the titles. They spend [more] money in the last five years than us. They should be there. They are not there. For that [same] reason Girona shouldn’t be in the Champions League and Leicester shouldn’t win the Premier League years ago. Now it’s boring? It’s not boring. It’s so difficult to be here again and we want to win it.”

*they have also spent less than Tottenham and Villa.
