Five clubs who spent more than us will finish below us - and two who spent less than us will finish ahead.
It's not just the money but how you use it ... West Ham spent two bob, Everton spent 200m go figure.
Of course we need to spend money but we need to spend it well, more Hojbjerg less Sanchez
Why throw up something everybody knows was a catastrophic mistake three years ago, nobody at all is saying spend nothing .... so what exactly was your point?
The last two seasons are the most recent so of course they inform the narrative, for us spending nearly 200m hasn't improved the squad all that much, it's about who you buy not how much you spend, unless that is you have limitless cash and can just buy another 70m keeper when your first one fails ... don't think even the most ardent "money grows on trees" fan seriously believes we can do that.
We need to match the spend of our rivals (oligarchs and sheikhs excepted) and we need to be much better at picking players who will hit the ground running ... we simply don't have time to give them half a season to bed-in, another season's top four will be gone already.
I don't know that's for ENIC to work out. I said it a million times before if don't have big money to spend we need the best scouting network, set up possible, we certainly don't have that.
Oh. So changing the goalposts from how much to how spent.
Cool. I can do that.
So how did that go, then? Including the value of the two managers sacked?
Who exactly has the final say on players bought and sold, along with on managers hired and sacked?
If you are 'ok' with what is currently happening at the club with ENIC - you need a head wobble, mate - with respect
He's a paid ENIC troll - don't bother
You say we've invested net 181m in 2 years, but the year before that we spent nothing and made record profits. I'm pretty sure no one at ENIC is going without their beluga caviar in 2021. And Levy had to give his new pet some money to spend.
Meanwhile, ManUre fans are throwing flares at the stadium because their owners only spent £90m on Pogba, £85m on Maguire, £80m on Lukaku, £67m on Di Maria, £54m on Martial £53m on Fred, £50m on Obi Wan Kenobi, etc, etc, etc.
That's not even including their and other players wages we typically won't get near.
They could be doing a lot better. But could be a lot worse. I’m just not going to get massively perplexed over something I’ve no control over.
I’ve no issue about the money we have spent recently, just have issue about where it’s gone and for who. But as I don’t know if Levy is choosing players, or the manager is doing it, or Hitchin, there’s not really much to debate when everything is guesswork.
I feel like we're in the end-game now - there is nowhere left for ENIC to hide and steal
Yeah but it doesn’t.
Let’s flip it round then. If you think we should just go out and buy a load of players, spending £300m in summer and similar in January, then you are a twat that doesn’t know how money works. It doesn’t make you ambitious, just makes you look thick.
But I wouldn’t say that. I don’t think anyone who has an issue about ENIC is wrong. I certainly don’t think slagging off the owners make anyone else a better fan or a more ambitious one. We all want success, we just feel there’s different ways to achieve it.
And just because there are a couple of dozen vocal opponents of ENIC on here, that doesn’t equate to “most supporters”. People who are against something are generally the most vocal, doesn’t give them an actual majority.
That is not true - most fans are ENIC OUT now - those thieving cunt must go and rightly so
If we ever met, you wouldn’t know if to kiss me or blow me. You’re a teddy bear. I’m not fooled in the slightest.In the words of the great Kublai Khan.
How DARE you speak to me.
Let's go back to when Poch arrived, which I think is a fair sample.
About £600m spent on players, and that includes the no spend windows.
Problem is a lot of it was spent on shite.
Is that the same amount of ENIC that Levy owns?
