I didn't even mention wages, but here's another fucking gremlin racing along to the thread, equipped with charts to defend his boss.

My own criticisms are more to do with how inept we are at everything rather than spending, but am I fuck going to go about defending the incompetent losers at the top over it like you do.

"acKchYuAlLY i tHiNk yOULL fIND wE sPEnT oNlY 12m lESs !!!!!!!"

Yeah, and then finished 8th. Great fucking job lads.

Now #GETOVERIT ya big levy loving wrong'un.

our pitiful transfer strategy is actually not the most debilitating disaster under these dickheads. When you hear Liv staff speak about their club, they are so proud and so enthused with their purpose. We are riddled from top to bottom with disinterested staff, whether it’s the DOF or the catering staff. Lack of strategy from the top, sniping and political posturing.

Do one, f off

Ffs now all the Levy Defenders have raced out of their fucking Levy wallpaper plastered dungeons to scream "WE SPEND WE SPEND WE SPEND ,FACTS FACTS FACTS" ad nauseum because they've smelt the tiniest bit of blood on that final straw they're clutching on to desperately.

A post mocking the fact that ALL of you are drawn in to defend your favourite bloke in the whole wide world sooooo quickly when certain trigger words are mentioned. I mean, do you lot have a fucking whatsapp?

Oh and here, a source which has us below them in wages; EPL 2023 Payroll Wages Tracker

Because I can find a random site on the internet too.

It's from the same site I used. I posted the 2022/23 season wages. You posted the 2023/24 season ones, but we don't know what these will be until the transfer window is done.

Nice try, Gooner.

Appreciate that and it's not me saying you are being dishonest about a debate without wages.

Cool, bruv. :adesalute:

Just saying the old transfer spend per window debate is dead for so many reasons but especially wages and also because of the loan to buy deals we see now where spends are spread over different windows.

I'd happily join you at that funeral.

I think Everton winning the trf olympics multiple seasons in a row ought to have put a nail in that coffin.

I think the Richy and Nkunku comparison makes the point about the financial commitment needed for each transfer. Our model isn't to go for the Nkunku level players, even if we spend 60m on Richy, we aren't making the same level of commitment to player that the market says needs that level of commitment to sign. Shit wording but you get me?

At this point; I do get you.... I don't know what Arse spend on wages (and I won't 'cheat' by citing someone else's research above! : P ), but our wages are creeping up and it's like any other penny spent.... Return on 'investment' is boss.

For the most part I concur to a point you made earlier about Chavs having that bit more pull in the market..... The equivalent of us signing Nkuku would have been us signing Ndombele and we had to pay over the (2019) odds in wages to bring him here.

Whatever... The whole point here that the amount of lattitude afforded to our most hated rivals as a way of denigrating our club is really nauseating.

I'm surprised you don't understand that many of us are totally fucked off that our most hated rivals are showing more ambition than us and as a result have gone from also rans to the Champions League and title contenders while we've gone in the opposite direction.

What's really nauseating is people like you seemingly content with the situation and happy to keep taking it up the arse every season.

There's a reason why rival fans are singing "Daniel Levy, we want you to stay"

And you're part of it.. .Now that really is very nauseating indeed.

Some twats in here simply can't discern between kicking back against pro-Arsn'l narratives (happening) and flag-waving for ENIC (not happening).....

The simple fact is that regardless of who signs the cheques at Spurs; Kronke IS NOT out-spending them to any meaningful extent.
