Same amount he steals from our profits annuallyIs that the same amount of ENIC that Levy owns?
Oh. So changing the goalposts from how much to how spent.
Cool. I can do that.
So how did that go, then? Including the value of the two managers sacked?
Who exactly has the final say on players bought and sold, along with on managers hired and sacked?
Again what's your point?You say we've invested net 181m in 2 years, but the year before that we spent nothing and made record profits. I'm pretty sure no one at ENIC is going without their beluga caviar in 2021. And Levy had to give his new pet some money to spend.
Meanwhile, ManUre fans are throwing flares at the stadium because their owners only spent £90m on Pogba, £85m on Maguire, £80m on Lukaku, £67m on Di Maria, £54m on Martial £53m on Fred, £50m on Obi Wan Kenobi, etc, etc, etc.
That's not even including their and other players wages we typically won't get near.
Again what's your point?
Spending nothing was a catastrophic mistake - nobody on the entire site would disagree.
Spending 181m in the last two years was great in principle, but it hasn't yielded great results on the pitch.
Who gives a flying fuck about the tossers at Man Utd? We don't have their income no other club on the planet does, it's like asking why Haas can't beat Mercedes - it's all about the money.
If you want to see Man Utd level transfers then you need to be a Country an Oligarch or a Man Utd fan.
Because their owners have taken £1 billion out of the club since taking it over.My point is we're happy with barely any investment in the single most important part of the club, while they're burning the place down despite heavy investment that has yielded results. They may or may not need to paint the roof at Old Trafford and fit some 21st century training gear, but they're comfortably 2nd in the league, almost certainly about to win another cup, will be back on the CL next season...
Why are we so happy and they so angry?
Maybe because they are entitled cunts and most of us are not? ... after a lifetime supporting Spurs every tilt at glory is appreciated ... even when aiming high we fail.My point is we're happy with barely any investment in the single most important part of the club, while they're burning the place down despite heavy investment that has yielded results.

It's refreshing to see you at least acknowledge it was a catastrophic mistake.Why throw up something everybody knows was a catastrophic mistake three years ago, nobody at all is saying spend nothing .... so what exactly was your point?
Levy said himself we could have spent more on players that may have resulted in greater success on the pitch.Let's go back to when Poch arrived, which I think is a fair sample.
About £600m spent on players, and that includes the no spend windows.
Problem is a lot of it was spent on shite.
Levy said himself we could have spent more on players that may have resulted in greater success on the pitch.
He also said he preffered to spend money on the infrastructure connected to the club.
He also said the new stadium will not bring about any change in his transfer policy.
To Dare is to Dear
Fucking lying cunt that bloke - wowHe also said the new stadium will not bring about any change in his transfer policy.
Because their owners have taken £1 billion out of the club since taking it over.
Man Utd under the Glazers - the ridiculously frightening numbers...
Manchester United have spent more on servicing the Glazers than their first-team squad over the last 15 years...www.football365.com
Maybe because they are entitled cunts and most of us are not? ... after a lifetime supporting Spurs every tilt at glory is appreciated ... even when aiming high we fail.
Utd fans just expect their bottomless piggy bank to produce annual trophies ... if that's what you want then sadly Spurs will probably always let you down.
In the last 30 years we've averaged 8th in the UK ... Utd have averaged 2nd the best of any side.
We are happy because we're doing better - they are pissed because they are not.
If you can't see why they're upset with the owners for taking £1 BILLION out of the club and into they're own pockets then I don't know what to say.But they have won trophies, signed top players, sit at the upper echelons of the league and still generate more money than most clubs.
They're not doing a Leeds. Are fans of the club fans of the team on the pitch that wins games and has big players or are they fans of the board and how the club is run?
It's football, follow the team.
All true but not what we were discussing.Levy said himself we could have spent more on players that may have resulted in greater success on the pitch.
He also said he preffered to spend money on the infrastructure connected to the club.
He also said the new stadium will not bring about any change in his transfer policy.
To Dare is to Do
Maybe some supporters don’t think ENIC are walking all over the club. So are therefore ok with what’s happening. Doesn’t make anyone unambitious.
Of course they are going to reinvest revenue in to the club
It's refreshing to see you at least acknowledge it was a catastrophic mistake.
Unlike some who claim the disgraceful cop out was down to Poch demanding unrealistic targets.
Even though they agree Jack Grealish, for instance was a very realistic target that Levy fucked up by insulting the player and the selling club with derisory offers.
No, they reinvest enough to continue to make profit, that's their only concern.
It was only a few weeks ago that ENIC tried to pull the club into the ESL without even considering the supporters and people think they actually give a shit about us?
I mean, literally do people really believe they are going to reinvest funds from the stadium into the football team? Do you really believe they give a shit about trophies? The supporters? The club?
They view this club as a device to make them money, nothing more nothing less, the sooner people start to understand that the sooner they will stop laying down and letting them walk all over us.
But that's not going to happen because the people who defend ENIC are just simply too cowardly to ever have the guts to demand more for the football club, too afraid to even start to imagine a future without the don Levy running the show.
