We don't even make it to the top 10. Another wolloping by Villa. And even Everton beats us.
Spend on the team and not the grass.
I don't think ENIC and Levy will want to sell soon. It's a cash Cow that's value won't be decreasing soon. The world's interest in football has grown despite The Plandemic. Why would you sell something that has grown in a world that almost everything has shrunk?
And it's all Thanks to your support.
He'd be smiling. One more salary off his books

We were not spending due to the stadium for most of that time- we're up around the top 3 or 4 since it opened last time i checked (after summer window))
We jumped up the list because we suddenly became shit at selling players at their peak and bought a load of dead wood. "Big net spend" isn't automatically the positive some on here think it is.
It shows that we can spend x amount without having to raise money though sales - it's exactly what people think it shows. If we had been 'good' at selling players we'd have had more money to play with.
Unless you think it's a coincidence that since the stadium started bringing in revenue and the final costs were known that we started spending again?
True but ENIC put out a statement (can’t find it now but it was early Poch period) back then saying that the stadium would have no impact on transfer budget. I wish they where more honest and just said it would, but the long term we will be in a better position to finance the team. Not doing so made fans think we would always be net spend zero team.
The way i look at that is that you're basically asking the club to tell the footballing world that they are strapped for cash for the foreseeable- i can think of one or two problems that might come from doing so.
It is what it is, the stadium had an affect on what we could spend, thats plain to see. Both before and now after we have spent essentially what money is available - i don't think anyone can really have an issue with that. The issue now is that we have had several seasons of spending money badly, which brings other problems. Hopefully Paratici can keep up the good work of the last couple of windows (+ Gil & Romero from the first)
Issue is it dumped all the issues on Poch. I remember on this forum when not signing players, fans blaming Poch thinking he was happy with the squad then not giving any time for a rebuild. The perception of a club that never spends also sits on Levy/ENIC. It was also a flat out lie.
Well i mean there were fans that were understanding of the situation, it's on the ones that were pissed off that they couldn't see the reasoning as to why - like i say i think the clubs public position was justifiable and looking back at other clubs that built stadiums (Woolwich) they said publically the same thing and didn't spend either (for a much longer period than us iirc)
What's more important fans being told the 'truth' (and who would likely moan about it anyway) or the club not putting itself at a disadvantage for any future financial negotiations?
He did definitely say that.
It was when the build was in its early stages iirc.
Either he was lying, or the stadium being a year late and massively over budget was the cause.
All on Levy whichever was the cause.
They coughed up a lot of money in the January after Redknapp arrived as we were close to the bottom 3.
When the need arises, the money appears.
Even ENIC can't act as though losing players for nothing/next to nothing can be fixed with a nil net spend.
The worry of course is they become even more cautious with the signings
The thing is spending on a player doesn't mean your club loses money. The value (i.e. capital) is technically held in club like buying a machine for a company (yes you spend cash but the machine goes to your capital). Levy understands this more than anyone hence the hatred of selling for less than bought price; the accountants have to reflect it on the books.Highest net spend in football in last decade: Man United top list

Players also depreciate in value like a machine. The length of contract being a big, but not the only factor.
That is also reflected in the books.
