Your right, they are in no way comparable.
Well he's gone,.
An excuse to weaken the squad? 'Tried' for Dybala etc. No defensive midfielder or right back, no striker cover, change of manager etc.? Spent too much on a fat Frenchman?
And then the excuses rolled in in January when we decided to wing it through the season without a recognised striker.
Managers come managers go yet the excuses are still there yet there has been one constant through all this.......And then the excuses rolled in in January when we decided to wing it through the season without a recognised striker.
My favourites were the ones blaming Mourinho.
Yep. Never going to go to the next level with these guys. They don't seem that interested in winning things on the pitch. Going backwards from a few seasons ago. Best hope is after joe Lewis departs they sell up. Let someone else have a go at winning things as it's beyond these lot.Managers come managers go yet the excuses are still there yet there has been one constant through all this.......
My post was about this being used as another excuse (as valid as it may be) for a potential lack of improvement to the squad (comparitive to other clubs).

Premier League - Transfer balance and five-year comparison

Record profits, highest season ticket sales etc.
My only hope is that as it will be a global recession the club's previous lack of investment into the playing staff can possibly give us more spending power, but I have very considerable doubts about this.
If we don't/can't invest, it increases the likelihood of no trophies and increases the risk of players like Harry getting itchy feet, which further slows our progression.

It would beneficial to have a FSG hierarchy, who would not only sign hopeful sell ons and if any good wouldn't have to leave us to win trophies elsewhere.
I honestly believe we’ll see spending. Levy is many things, but stupid isn’t one of them. He’s not going to take on Mourinho, pay him fortunes and ask him to promote from youth. He’s taken on a manager who uses the market and he will surely give him the tools to succeed.
Agree with this. So what we are saying is we don’t need new owners, we just need a layer of strong scouting in the club to spend our money better.
I think that's more to do with the scouting than the hierarchy tbh.
I think everyone can agree that we need a revamp of the sporting and scouting organization.
A renowned head of recruitment could be our most important signing in years.
