We've spent 100+ million just this season. 2nd highest spenders in Europe Think he means getting taken over by a murderous theocrat with the same respect for human rights as Stalin or Pol Pot.

Problem is though even with all that money its bloody difficult to break in the top four. When city did it you didnt have a club as stinking rich as city were. When chelsea did it the same. Now you have various clubs with really wealthy owners. City chelsea liverpool leicester wolves united etc Hell if we were more successful you could even argue us. on Leicester, they've spent circa £400m since they won the league in order to get back to 3rd, they're on their 3rd manager since too, they have a squad worth almost £150m more than Newcastles its nowhere near as easy as it used to be, if they get CL and go out and buy say Tonali, Fabio Silva, Rugani for £120m then Newcastle spending big money and big wages on big names like Arturo Vidal is going to do not a lot to close that gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many Man U fans gave a toss that Giggs had an affair with his brother's wife for years. Because he performed on the pitch Of course human right issues is far more serious than cheating, but still. I think fans will tolerate a lot to see success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 They spent nearly 80m on Joelinthon and Almiron alone. Was going to include Saint Max in to take it over 100m but he's been decent for them in fairness. I'm more interested by the calibre of manager they attract tbh.
