You need to e-mail the rags this if they're saying we spent big in a very small space of time....

Martin Edwards, was unwilling to sanction the level of spending that Ferguson had expected when he came to the club. Interviews from the time illustrate his frustration: “I came here thinking I would have the luxury of buying players. I have done a lot of hard work at youth levels but to win the League we need to buy. I'm disappointed I haven't had that kind of money. Liverpool has bought the best and what sticks in my gullet is the difference between “them and us”. He (Martin Edwards) is now facing two very tough choices between having a very good team and balancing the books” (Crick and Smith 1989). An illustration of the financial straightjacket Ferguson found himself in came in the summer of 1988 when he tried to sign Paul Gascoigne but was refused permission by Edwards.
Things changed in the summer of 1989. Between July and September Ferguson was allowed to go on a spending spree. He bought five players: Gary Pallister, Neil Webb, Paul Ince, Mike Phelan and Danny Wallace for somewhere in the region of £8m an astronomical outlay for the time.

Ahh but the classic retort is that they earned the money, hence could spend it. Sod them I say.

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.

Suffering is seeing your enemy top of the league and spanking goals in for fun against you.

Goalkeepers Ushited have spent more.
Centre back Ushited havespen more.
Right backs Ushited have spent more.
Overall us and the current Ushited team cost about the same.

It's just like the hatred that Everton have seem to have found towards us also..

The 2 games last year, and the one this season, they were all foaming at the mouth at us and as we walked through Liverpool you could the anger in their eyes. Now surely it can't all be about Joleon still, if it is then that is pathetic. I reckon it has to be because we were in a similar position, both blue half of the city, and both miles behind our red shite nieghbours in success. They just can't handle the fact its us and not them, just like with the Rags/Pool/Arse/Spuds etc..

And as for their Lescott argument, its economics of football and Joleon made the perfect choice, we paid good money for him which they should be proud of, and the fact they moan on about how unloyal he was... He left his hometown club from the championship to join them for better football and better pay, exactly what he did for us, Top of the League and and FA cup.

Stupid scousers.

The classic retaliation to that retort is to tell them to STFU about money they subsequently earned (and spent) once they reached the top, rewind a few years, and focus on the fact that their (unprecedented at the time) 1989 summer spending spree, when they were a mid-table club was largely financed with cash that they hadn't earned, let alone didn't even have. In essence, they gambled money they simply didn't have to buy their way to the upper echelons of the league in a similar way to Leeds a decade or so later. Luckily for United, the gamble paid off.

Carrick 18m
Berbatov 30.75m
Phil Jones 16.5m
Smalling 10m
De Gea 18m
Valencia 16m
Ash Young 17m
Wio 30m
Wooney 25.6m

That's 8 players in the current squad totalling nearly £182m, at an average of £22.73m!!!!!

Good stat to throw at any Rag telling us we're buying success. And as for them earning it, so having the right to spend it: get f***ing real!

That should be made into a flag on one of the tiers in the ground every derby day...

Goalkeepers Ushited have spent more.

for the most part they've wasted millions on a pile of shite. whatever else baconface may be good at, with the notable exceptions of schmeichel & van der sar, it isn't spotting goalkeeping talent. taibi, ricardo, bosnich, carroll & leighton were utter garbage. kuszczak is decidely third rate. baconface failed to get anything like the best out of howard who he offloaded to everton. barthez was inconsistent, error prone & would have been found out big time in a side that wasn't as strong overall. de gea has so far shown no signs of being a wonder kid keeper & strangely is keeping the better lindegaard out of the side.
