Of course it will. Probably the main motivating factor tbh.
And watch the SSB guys on here suck it up like newborns on the nipple.
It'll be more nauseating than a barman's fart.

Maybe one of the THST meetings will do it, like the ones where he said it's ok we didn't sign a centre forward because we got Bergwijn instead...or there's little correlation between spending money and success etc.
There's little correlation between our transfer spending causing success, so maybe that's the problem.
Can you imagine how fucking shite we'd be if Harry didn't come through? We'd still be seeing Soldado bumbling about out there for DL to try and get his money's worth out of him ffs.
The trust meetings are pointless
Can anyone really disagree that most of our big transfers fail?
In that respect the correlation between spending and success is pretty ridiculous
We obviously can't easily just find another Kane....but if I were Chairman I'd be questioning why not
Take Kane out of our side in the last 5 years and at no stage do we finish top 6
Well, maybe in the Championship.
Our net spend is ridiculously low compared to other teams around us and when we have spent big we too often have got it wrong. (Also wage budget to turnover - far lowest)
So between whoever gets to make the calls, someone is fucking it up and there has been more consistency behind the scenes than anywhere else.
The squad has been clearly stagnating for 2 seasons now and we weakened last few windows IMO. We're linked with enough quality, so I highly doubt it's scouting, but we do always seem to either pay less or lose out if we have any other competing club for an in demand player...and when we're favourites to sign someone, it usually always goes to the wire.
'Levytime' is running out of time.
Levy time up you must be joking right he built a new stadium and has a contract with the NFL as soon as covid19 is over we are gonna be banking it
Banking it is the problem.
I parse this graph much differently... I see a clear upward trend.
We could be in 6th on Sunday night depending on results this matchweek.
Sold big, spent foolish, made a Champions League final.
Maybe because the chairman got rid of the best recruiter we had by dicking about of the players he really wanted.
You are being willfully ignorant here.
Going back to Hitchens has been shite tbh. Floparama.

Not really Man City and Chelsea where mostly shit before money and below us (Chelsea actually went above us for a little while after spending and nearly went bankrupt). Not every transfer works but throw enough shit against the wall and some of it sticks.
Yes but a barman's fart does at least hold weight.
There are far more instances where teams have spent loads and still been terrible
You will also note that Chelsea and City have also spent shitloads on their training grounds and academies
No club would have a high transfer net spend if they could avoid it
We need good players, not necessarily expensive players
Good players usually cost more and want more wages.
Look at the Bruno Fernandes situation for the perfect example.
We shall see who is right. They may take us to the next level but I think we are getting worse.I parse this graph much differently... I see a clear upward trend.
If Eriksen had accepted the move to United he'd more than likely be playing for us
It’s the modern world, yes we need good players but unless you have the best scouting system they cost a lot of money. Generally the league table and spending are roughly in line, we where an outlier for a period as Poch got us doing so well on limited cash.
Funny that the rumours went along the lines of Poch wanting Eriksen, Vertonghen and Alderweireld sold as they were itching to get away and that it was rubbing off on the other players (poor mentality, painful rebuild etc.).
Vetoed by the higher ups who'd rather lose them for free (except they sold Eriksen anyway in January).
€15m difference and the player was all set to come here.
What about the Grealish deal? That one fucks me off too.
