Thats distorting whats been said. The 3 seasons before they won the league trophy is when they splurged the cash. You could say that Sergio and David are absolute bargains now but 70 million at the time for 2 players who possibly werent superstars was an awful lot of money.Their first team when they won the 96 double was:
Schmeichel (500k)
Neville (academy)
Pallkster
Bruce
Irwin
Beckham (Academy)
Keane (3.5 m after influx of cash having won the 2st ever epl)
Scholes (academy)/ butt (academy)
Giggs (academy)
Cantona (1m)
Cole (7 m)
That most Defintely didn't require more than their club's value. I'm all for criticism but this is ridiculous. I'm not going to let myself get bitter enough for the facts to get cloudy. I'll let the rags do that. Just like they currently do with Pep.
Cut out the rag jibes please.If you have an issue,then report it.
Thank you

I know he was at Deans in Swinton as a kid which were the local boys club. Whether he went to Salford boys after that I dont knowHow do you know all this shit?
He was at Citys school of excellence and was poached by Ferguson and a steward. I had to google that though.
They were but we never broke world transfer records for our guys. De bryune was a lot for 55m but it was nowhere near the amounts the big guns were spending (Madrid and Barca,) back then.
Similarly, United spent a lot (compared to the domestic market) back then, but it wasn't much compared to the European heavyweights.
They didn't buy their titles back then and we have t bought our titles recently.
Dunno boss...I know fuck all about Utd to be honest other than what I can google or know from playing them or reading in the press.I know he was at Deans in Swinton as a kid which were the local boys club. Whether he went to Salford boys after that I dont know
So if they havent bought their titles which is what we get accused of by plastic rags. Or should I not say where they like us invested in their squad to win trophies, then where did there players come from. You have gone from saying they havent spent alot on their squad using the 96 double squad to fit your arguement to saying they havent bought their titles.They were but we never broke world transfer records for our guys.

I've never been able to find info on what their turnover was back then.
Transfer fees are irrelevant in terms of the number, it's a function of the amount money in the game. That's why those who don't see that connection to now where turnovers are vastly higher are idiots.
You can't compare £2m for Pallister to £75m for VVD except through that proportion. I suspect Liverpool actually paid far less in real terms of those two.
