That link also shows the last 5 years we've net spent 50m more than Liverpool, doubled our annual net spend to 44m, and only been outspent (net) by Arse, Chelsea, City, ManU, Everton.

The last three years - since stadium was completed - only four teams have higher net - Arse (-307m), Villa (227), ManU (321.22), ManC (217) than us (215.4).

Last three years we've almost matched City's net, higher net spent than Liverpool (43m) and Chelsea (75m).


As others have said. Our biggest problem is not how much we spend. Our financial model is pretty normal for the overwhelming majority of clubs in Europe.

It's been how we spend.

We used to be much better at it, the last 5 years we've been pretty bad at it - or to be more accurate, lots of other clubs wised up and got better at it, whilst we simultaneously got worse.

Where are these figures coming from?

There is some argument against them, or at least their applicability.
Liverpool and City have only needed minor tweeks to their squad for a few years.
Chelsea seem to sell their deadwood for 3 times mkt value.

He's not pulling everything off. Conte knows January's are shit.
Watch the summer window. That'll be far more gripping.

The ENIC troll asked which clubs have outspent us last 10 years and denied it happened. This factually proves 10-12 clubs did. The rest is semantics
