A dirty scum fan is wrong whatever the subject of the 'debate' is. So just reinforce the fact you think he and Gary Neville are cunts and walk away graciously.

The first reply gives you the only answer you need.

Here are some figures for you

Rafa's net spend (sales less recovered) over the past four years has been £70m

Liverpool's European Cup earnings during our incredible run of winning, last 16 and runners up (excluding what we are going to earn this season) are £70m

So salaries aside, player sales and european cup earnings alone more than cover everything Rafa has spent on players since coming here.

Not bad is it?

Net spend since Rafa arrived is about 70m. Happily, prize money from CL performance since his arrival will break the 100m barrier this year.

I think that's all you need to tell them

go to the bottom of this article from Tony Barrett so i expect figures to be correct.

The more you analyse it the better Rafa looks. In this time of turmoil it is Rafa who has and will walk us through the storm.

He's the sort of arsehole who will win a champion's league trophy just to divert everyone's attention from the embarrassing civil war at home.

We have spent more than Fergie this past year and in the years Rafa has been year both NET and GROSS.

How did Rafa's team compare to Fergies when he started. In otherwords we still have to factor in the starting point.

Exactly.

West Brom could be promoted and spend £30m for three years. If we spent £25m for the same number of years the chances are we would still be light years above them.

Now there is always the chance that West Brom could get lucky and find some bargain buys that become world class. But for that you need a top scouting system, ala Arsenal.

Now again, our scouting network is better than theirs, so the chances of them finding the hiddem gems before us are again very unlikely.

So the chasm that is there is not easy to bridge.
