Chelsea spending last years Russian dosh and City with their endless sponsorship cash that CAS has now given licence to spend does not really indicate financial health for the entire league. They are like the two worst examples.
Won't stop these clubs hoovering up trophies mate.
You don’t bring on a 17yr old to save games with 15 minutes left, it’s the stuff that can break a career before it’s started.
Look at all the shit on here when he missed the penalty, you don’t throw a kid his debut in heated circumstances under massive pressure
We spent 110M on 6 players for AVB in 2012 didnt we?
At the time our record signing was still about 17M, to give an idea of how much we laid out to try and improve the squad.
The real mistake from that era was sacking Redknapp for AVB and that’s the part that was absolutely lauded by the majority of the fan base who claimed it was a next level manager and that 5th was better than 4th because we got more points.
Cant celebrate certain actions ENIC take at the time but then with hindsight start saying they’ve never done the right thing.
Surely city winning this case has finished FFP UEFA won't be able to impose it.
We canned poch after 4 years of "punching way above our weight" performances, and one catastrophic year (one full year, from tha january prior to his sacking).
That catastrophic year was brought on by chronic injuries and fatigue, brought on by levy not signing anyone for a world record duration (not imposed as a ban).
At least get your facts straight.
The spanner in the works for the punching above our weight argument is that Leicester won the title in a season we finished ABOVE City, Chelsea, Utd and Liverpool.
Care to tell me who was above us that we couldn’t compete with financially?
Were Woolwich title challengers to you?
I’m aware of the facts, what you said has fuck all bearing on the fact that twats like you still didn’t want Poch sacked after what you call a “catastrophic year”..
You also missed Poch losing the dressing room and playing a shit formation that players were criticising in the papers.
The point was that you same twats slated people for turning on Poch after let’s say then, one year of catastrophic football, yet had turned on Jose already after weeks despite taking over from that catastrophic situation and having to fix it out of the blue.

Tottenham Hotspur more tactical under Jose Mourinho than Mauricio Pochettino: Ben Davies
Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies on Monday revealed how current manager Jose Mourinho is different from former boss Mauricio Pochettino and the players trying to under his methods and tactics.
Not sure if this was posted, quite interesting and positive so probably not
Both these posts are irrelevant to the point being put to you (and the false claim you originally made).... C19 stands to affect the finances (ergo spending power) of any club that is in some way dependent on matchday revenue.
Since Poch took over as our manager:
Wenger 2 trophies
Jose 4 trophies
Klopp 2 trophies
Pep 8 trophies
Sarri 2 trophies
Conte 1 trophy
Ranieri 1 trophy
Now one of Arteta or Frank guaranteed to win a trophy.
Ole 0 trophies.
Oh look which group Poch is in
but he won the most important trophy of them all - our hearts.
FFS WHO SPOKE ABOUT POCH?
Ranieri fluke aside, all of those managers had a bigger budget, and had a higher starting point
Jose lost to Norwich in that same competition Arteta or Lampard is guaranteed to win, that’s nothing to do with Poch and he got obliterated by Max Verstappen FC in the CL. Jose is 0/2 AT SPURS So far.
Klopp lost how many finals before getting to spend big in 2018?
There is no false claim, if clubs are affected by covid 19 then some clubs are not showing it yet.
Other clubs such as ours will always be affected by a mere ripple, if someone drops a barrel of oil on the floor in Saudi Arabia that is an excuse not to take a plunge in the market.
So to confirm no false claims the day is Friday, beautiful and sunny we all move on have a good one.
Yes there is (see highlghted).
You're still being disingenuous with your replies too:
You said: "we were led to believe that covid would call a halt to this [big spending]"
Who led you to believe C19 would prevent the likes of City from throwing their petro-dosh around then...? I've not seen anyone on this forum make that prediction; quite the opposite in fact.
If you're not talking about the likes of City then who are the teams you are alluding to....?
Completely irrelevant to what's been put to you (not just by me either)
To confirm; you're being dishonest.

Post of the year sammy!
Now do the same for the amount of CL finals managers have been Involved in as we all know the smaller trophies don’t count
Nothing irrelevant no dishonesty from myself, clearly rattled by my eight ball comment.
I'm sitting here waiting to see whether I will be donating to your good cause, do you remember or am I being dishonest about that.
:mourbringit:ENIC/Levy have moved the club into another stratosphere in the grand scheme of things and have done marvellous work in laying the foundations for us to close the financial gap.
however in Sporting terms, it seems whenever the club has forward momentum (specifically the Redknapp era and our most recent manager) they have failed to back their guy at the most crucial moments. Our biggest bottlers are the ownership.
