I can't believe fans of a club that have just payed 89m & 90m (conservative guess) for 2 players, have the fucking nerve/cheek
to spout on how others spend money. As if they haven't bought anyone and have to watch the pennies.
Fucking wankers, the lot of them. Know fuck all about football, let alone how the finances of clubs are run.

They are without doubt the most hypocritical bunch of pricks when it comes to the transfer outlays. Some of those threads on that vermin forum make out like they scout and buy their players from teams who grace Hough End, paying three and six and a bag of oranges, paying wages of ten shillings a month. 89 million on Pogshit 75 million on Lumpakaku and 35 million on a sweedish bloke who never gets a game. Do they actually realise that the first two are by a country mile the two most expensive British transfer fees both from home and abroad barring Neymar, Mbappe and Dembele. Fucking priceless.

My Rag loving uncle keeps trying to change the subject. He keeps going on about Yaya not making the first team and has persuaded himself that this is the end of the world for City . Desperate bastards, the lot of 'em.
 
At the start of the season Mou made disparaging remarks about the money we had spent on DEFENDERS. Perhaps he should look at the league table and our goals for and against columns - clear evidence that our money has been well spent to date.
 
This seems to be the stick everyone beats us with. You know what, let them. They might try to make our success seem insignificant but if we end up celebrating another title at the etihad in May next year then I couldn't give two fucks what anyone else says. Less so when it comes from that sour faced toss pot.

This outspending statement has been exaggerated. Everyone knows the more apples you buy at the same price the costlier it gets. Here's a quick breakdown

Our total spending since the takeover:
£1,133,600,000
on 67 players (of the 67 players, 10 were free. Of the 67 players, 15 were non first team prospects)

Cost per player overall : £16,919,400
Cost per first team player : £21,176,923
Cost per first team player (excluding free players) : £26,219,048

Their total spending since our takeover:
£775,900,000
on 46 players (of the 46 players, 7 were free. Of the 46 players, 13 were non-first team prospects (well, 12 + Bebe).

Cost per player overall: £16,867,392
Cost per first team player : £22, 642,424
Cost per first team player (excluding free players) : £28,738, 461

The reason why we spent more is simply because we bought more. We bought more because we were building a competing team from a mid-table team since 2009. Now that the boot is in the other foot and they have been mid table themselves, their spending has gone from 20m in 2009 to 145.5m, 103.6m, 149m and 146m in the last four years trying to play catch up.

Perspectives.

Thank you for the proper accounting and analysis. This is now being downloaded to my phone so I'm prepared when I am accosted by the red nitwits in my home pub here in Philadelphia. Thanks again.
 
Redcafe poster (Footyislife) with his head out of his arse:

Pep is currently a much better manager than Mourinho. Both have spent tons at their new clubs, but Pep has put out a much better product on the field.

Jose can say we play expansive football the reality is we still play with 5 up front and 5 behind the ball. We'll score 3+ goals against the bad teams while Pep will have his team score 5+. We'll draw against better teams while Pep will win some and lose others, still coming out ahead on point total.

Jose loves reminding us that this is a new PL and winning is difficult. That just means you have to take risks, be brave, and play with imagination to win. Which is what SAF had us do for years and years. Mourinho is guaranteed to win 1/4 years with his pragmatism, but is that what we are satisfied with? I'm not. I want a dominant team that wins it 3/4 yrs. Mourinho has never built dominance, whereas Pep has.

5 yrs on, we have yet to replace SAF with a manager who shared his philosophy. Seems so obvious that you replace like with like to continue a successful dynasty. Given a choice 2 yrs ago most of us would have chosen Pep over Mourinho in a heartbeat. Let's not pretend to call the grapes sour just because we can't have them.

Which was followed by their resident arselicker:

He's not a much better manager nor is he a much worse manager. They are both top managers with different strengths and flaws in different aspects of the game. They are two of the best in the world. Only the styles are different.

Any points dropped today would be a huge bonus.

Can't see it as Everton have a poor squad and no pace.

Just hope they don't score 4 or more and go top.
