Poor City can't compete with Posh

It’s not just in the Premiership where the divide between the rich and the rest is growing by the day.
QPR seem to be buying a player a day during the transfer window thanks to the mega-bucks of their multi-millionaire new owners.
And down at City’s level, Peterborough are splashing the cash like it’s going out of fashion.
Not content with the £500,000-plus striking talent already on their books, Posh spent another £150,000 on Liam Hatch from Barnet.
And now they are in the process of laying out a cool £400,000 on young Norwich goalkeeper Joe Lewis, who City fans will remember from his loan spell at Morecambe when he defied everything thrown at him on that Friday night.
It’s a sobering thought for Stuart McCall when League Two rival Darren Ferguson can shell out that much at the drop of a hat.
