Listen to yourselves

I know you'll all disagree but sorry thats how I see it.
Actually I would say our situation is more like this - we have taken out a new more expensive mortgage as you say. BUt where we planned to trade in the family car than buy a little junker to get us were we need to go while and use the trade in money to get our finances settled down, we convince ourselves to take a flash new car whose downpayment costs our trade-in money and a buit more than that and an even more expensive car loan than we were paying before while paying a bigger mortgage than before.

8 pages!!!!!

I think I must of touched a nerve.

Seriously a lot of great points have been made, as opposed to constantly calling me a c**t, which is a tad sad if not at times still slightly amusing in it's way.

Some of you have made me rethink the issue to a point where he is more at fault than I would of first believed but I still stand by my basic premis that it would of been a miracle to of won the PL given the money situation.

I mean as was pointed out if he'd of sold him him and him etc etc etc that would of given him £50 Million to spend.

Fair point but that still only matches what Chelsea spent on ONE player.

For all the validity of the point it does in itself highlight exactly what I'm saying, financial we are not in the same universe, even if we sell half a dozen players we only raise what Chelsea risked on an out of form, possibly injury prone player!!

According to Wenger's cult we have the best youth policy in the world, there's never been anyone better throughout history at 'making a superstar' out of an african, our scouting system is worldwide and this is his best ever squad.

I'm sure with all that in mind and Wenger being the uber-intelligent economist that he is, £50 mill needn't be spent on just one player.

He nutures a losing mentality around the club, that is nothing to do with finances.

And thats the point..it would of been a MIRACLE.
So what does that make the three in a row that "Fergie" got?!?

Manu competed with and battered chelsea with hardly any 'financial might'.

Carrick, £18m, Nani, £14m, Hargreaves, £16m, Tevez on loan, the twins £5m, Berbatov £30m.

That's the transfers in to OldT since summer 2006. Unless I've forgotten some.

So maybe £100m plus wages in 5 years.

We could and should have been able to compete with that.

Wonder how much money ManU got out of three Premier League titles in a row???

I think it was worth it.

We could easily have spent £10m extra every window on players that we needed and then seen the results. The Board stated many times that Wenger has/had money to spend.

When I saw the bits "proud of the way our club is run" "we don't have money to spend" "go support the bank of russia" or whatever it was, i couldn't help but collapse in a fit of hyseria every time.

I'm not even going to bother going into that shit, but this twat is obviously a Wenger cultist who can't think for himself and is brainwashed by that senile fool or as Quartz said, Pancho in a return. I could just imagine this guy saying all that shit and insulting everyone in one of the pubs around the ground :roll:

You forgot Rooney £30 Million. Rio £30 Million.

Just because they wasn't bought in the last 5/6 years you cant ignore them as if they was magiced out of thin air.

Fergie is a genius but a genius with bucket loads of cash. Dont prtend otherwise.
