Changing the goalposts? the topic is Levy/Enic not who sacked which managers and why?
The point under discussion was how much money needs to be spent on players, and the answer seems to be "how long is a piece of string" ... three years ago we spent nothing and reached the CL Final - last two years we've spent 200m and won't even qualify for the CL.
The point being made was that it's not just the money but how it's spent. So no you're not really being very "cool" just deflecting.
Again what's your point?
Spending nothing was a catastrophic mistake - nobody on the entire site would disagree.
Spending 181m in the last two years was great in principle, but it hasn't yielded great results on the pitch.
Who gives a flying fuck about the tossers at Man Utd? We don't have their income no other club on the planet does, it's like asking why Haas can't beat Mercedes - it's all about the money.
If you want to see Man Utd level transfers then you need to be a Country an Oligarch or a Man Utd fan.
My point is we're happy with barely any investment in the single most important part of the club, while they're burning the place down despite heavy investment that has yielded results. They may or may not need to paint the roof at Old Trafford and fit some 21st century training gear, but they're comfortably 2nd in the league, almost certainly about to win another cup, will be back on the CL next season...
Why are we so happy and they so angry?
Because their owners have taken £1 billion out of the club since taking it over.
Man Utd under the Glazers - the ridiculously frightening numbers...
Manchester United have spent more on servicing the Glazers than their first-team squad over the last 15 years...

Maybe because they are entitled cunts and most of us are not? ... after a lifetime supporting Spurs every tilt at glory is appreciated ... even when aiming high we fail.
Utd fans just expect their bottomless piggy bank to produce annual trophies ... if that's what you want then sadly Spurs will probably always let you down.
In the last 30 years we've averaged 8th in the UK ... Utd have averaged 2nd the best of any side.
We are happy because we're doing better - they are pissed because they are not.
It's refreshing to see you at least acknowledge it was a catastrophic mistake.
Unlike some who claim the disgraceful cop out was down to Poch demanding unrealistic targets.
Even though they agree Jack Grealish, for instance was a very realistic target that Levy fucked up by insulting the player and the selling club with derisory offers.
Levy said himself we could have spent more on players that may have resulted in greater success on the pitch.
He also said he preffered to spend money on the infrastructure connected to the club.
He also said the new stadium will not bring about any change in his transfer policy.
To Dare is to Do
Fucking lying cunt that bloke - wow
I remember the lies - wait till we have 60k fans so we can compete with the Big 4
All they've done is steal from the club and thrown us into 1 billion debt to finance the infrastructure which of course grows our assets and their dividends by extension - absolute bottom feeders

But they have won trophies, signed top players, sit at the upper echelons of the league and still generate more money than most clubs.
They're not doing a Leeds. Are fans of the club fans of the team on the pitch that wins games and has big players or are they fans of the board and how the club is run?
It's football, follow the team.
If
Maybe, just maybe, they would like owners who aren't ripping the club off, regardless of how many players they sign or how many trophies they win.
If you can't see why they're upset with the owners for taking £1 BILLION out of the club and into they're own pockets then I don't know what to say.

All true but not what we were discussing.
Do you think we should have a better squad than we do after spending £600m in 6 years.
Well these supporters you speak of must be completely fucking blind then.
It was only a few weeks ago that ENIC tried to pull the club into the ESL without even considering the supporters and people think they actually give a shit about us?
They are clearly walking all over the club, we have had numerous opportunities to invest at key moments where we could have pushed on and won a trophy and instead they went two fucking windows without spending a penny.
I mean, literally do people really believe they are going to reinvest funds from the stadium into the football team? Do you really believe they give a shit about trophies? The supporters? The club?
They view this club as a device to make them money, nothing more nothing less, the sooner people start to understand that the sooner they will stop laying down and letting them walk all over us.
But that's not going to happen because the people who defend ENIC are just simply too cowardly to ever have the guts to demand more for the football club, too afraid to even start to imagine a future without the don Levy running the show.
Of course they are going to reinvest revenue in to the club
No, they reinvest enough to continue to make profit, that's their only concern.
It was a bad mistake to target Grealish without a back up plan as whilst a deal had been agreed with old owners the new owners gambled that keeping Grealish could (and did) allow them to get back to PL - worth £200m to them versus the transfer value of Grealish. So 20/20 hindsight perhaps, but transfer always doomed to fail - widely reported in Birmingham local papers
Unfortunate to target Frenkie de Jong as he wanted Barcelona - an interview in which de Jong says he turned down Spurs to wait for Barclena has been posted before.
Just like your 'Not one brick' line of a few years when you claimed the stadium would never be built, you are deliberately making things up to suit your agenda
Other than the period that the club was building the stadium we have generally been run on a break-even basis, no reason to think this won't continue going forwards
They literally just did - 180m on new players when that 180m could have paid down debt, or been given as dividends to the shareholders.
