Because if we can find a better system then we should move to it and it's a relatively new phenomenon that clubs can loan out excellent players to their rivals. It's been discussed before and it's going to come up again.
Also we should be open to ideas from other successful leagues. Although the draft system is not possible in the Premier League it's a great example of an attempt to level the playing field. I would support wage caps and a draft system to make the PL a lot more competitive. However it wouldn't work because players would be poached by the European clubs.

One suspects people would not be moaning if the boot was on the other foot and its just sour grapes to moan about what your rivals are doing.

It's not moaning. He expressed an opinion after being asked a direct question. A manager can't talk in anything other than PR friendly soundbites and must not dare express a single opinion, even if it's one expressed by others as well. The kind of bland football you people want is depressing. Imagine how unhappy Bill Shankly and Bryan Clough would have made you lot.
