We need to get better at getting decent money in when we let players go.
We are poor at recouping funds.
We have bought success but doesn't bother me.

What have I told you about getting Fixodent and carpet adhesive mixed up?
That said, I too find it hard to get animated about this nonsense anymore.
Haters gonna hate - simply smile at them, and ask just how you can spend £45 million more than the champions, yet finish seventh?

A bit of time to kill. Figures taken from http://www.transferleague.co.uk/
Transfer spend so far this Summer of last seasons top 7 teams.
Arsenal.
Chelsea.
Liverpool.
Everton.
Manchester City.
Manchester United.
Spurs.
*Arsenal have since signed Calum Chambers for £16mill.
*City have probably signed Mangala. Waiting for the announcement. £30mill
*Liverpool would have signed Loic Remy(£8,5mill), but he failed a medical. I'm sure Liverpool will find a replacement.
Feel a tad sorry for Everton, impressive they can still compete.
Agree with nexoster that Financial Faux Pas is a total disgrace.
Just look at that Chelsea spending.

I agree. They can moan all they want but there's fuck all the haters can do to stop us.
Besides, I find it amusing how some (not all) fans of United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are so against rich benefactors pumping money into football clubs. After all, if it wasn't for John Henry Davies, James Gibson, Henry Norris, Danny Fiszman, and the Moores family it's highly likely that none of those clubs would have grown into the clubs they are now, and in the case of United and Arsenal they might not even exist at all.....

Forgetting the importance of the media in that regard and building up the hype, as so often are players are always vastly underrated and praise is always given grudgingly. Without the media hyping players up it makes it a hell of a lot harder to get top whack. See the fact that Gerrard got ahead of Yaya in poty votes as one example.
