I'll take the bait, such a nonsense response nothing to do with what I was saying, actually if anything backs me up. Let's break it down for you...
Convenient the ENIC fanboys always quote since 2018 forgetting almost 20 years where we were the bottom of that list, many little teams above us. Anyway past that, the new 'game changing' stadium, what was he going to do? Continue in his frugal ways, whilst others spend and watch us continue to fall further behind? Because don't spend this year Kane is gone and bottom half next year. Pretty much every window he has spent big it's with the goal of getting European income with the exception the year we flirted with relegation, again money the motivator. Then consider why aren't Man City top of the list yet they always dine at the top table when buying players? Because they buy the best, they sell the best, because they back the manager they don't end up with a bunch of halfway misfits that don't suit the next manager he half assed backs and there isn't this constant need to invest large amounts in the squad, thus they can now keep the net spend down. For them it's all about fine tuning that winning machine.
Instead we are in a situation where if we do not spend big not even European Football will be in our grasp. So I expect in the coming years we may be even higher in that net spend, never considering that backing the manager with the players he actually wants, no more cheaper 2nd choices, and no more this endless need to play catch up may actually be the cheaper option. There is a reason people say penny wise, pound foolish, that's certainly true in their running of the team. But in the end that doesn't matter to ENIC as growth of the PL, the Tottenham property empire they are building and their entertainment business negates all that to create massive profit for them. Bottom line it's all about money for them and whilst I think we will get Euro Football more seasons than not with them, that 22 years of winning crap all will continue to rise, top of net spend with 20 rodons, N'ks and spences or not, after all there may be one bale in there...
