Interesting as well that the difference in spending between us and Man Utd has happened since 2013-14, at that point we were level with them, since then they have spend ~£400m more than upThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Makes me question if Rooney fulfilled his potential

That can't be right, we're just £10m short of United? I know they have been getting 10x the value for average players over the years to balance the books, but that still seems way off.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

I did consider that, but since prices have become ridiculous, we've been pretty good at balancing the books and I'm pretty sure when Jose was moaning about not being able to compete financially with us, his net spend was over £100m more than ours.Originally posted by dom9 View PostThe hyper inflation of UK football probably has a lot to do with it. You have to spend many more pounds on the same player than even three years ago.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

Our net spend has been very reasonable during the period of hyper inflation though, hence posting £100 profit laster year. Sure we spent £160m last summer but couts will total 140m, solanke, Ings etc.Originally posted by dom9 View PostThe hyper inflation of UK football probably has a lot to do with it.

I don't believe those numbers.
