The season they won the league they spent well over £100 million on Allison and VVD if memory serves, perhaps it was money generated from the Coutinho deal. But Liverpool historically have thrown money at it.I am really, really tired of seeing Liverpool's incredible success despite not spending a lot of money as justification that anybody else can easily do the same. Your spending budget is really important. How you spend it is really important. The fact that one club managed to spend so incredibly well that they overcame a relatively small budget is not justification that spending doesn't matter or that anybody else who doesn't accomplish the same on the same budget is an abject failure.
