The silence from the mods is deafening regarding this particular member who has masqueraded as a blue for far too long. I've got many mates who are Kopites but they don't walk into the pub pretending to be a blue and wind me up.
So once again I'll ask the mods why he's still allowed to post here?
I have no idea who you mean, but unless he she or it goes totally OTT then the old union rule applies - the management must have the right to manage...I'm sure some are kept on for comedy value and to show an example of fairplay. Something which seems lacking on a certain rs site(s)
 

It's more then 400m and look where we are. We have spent more and gotten worse
We haven't gotten worse technically, it's because the other mid table teams around us are spending too. We also aren't big hitters in the market it's just that fees have went through the roof compared to pre Mosh. Compare our spending to Liverpool, City, United, Chelsea and even Arsenal. They are spending 70m to 80m on one player our record fee is 30m to 40m odd less than what those clubs spend. Much like before Mosh. Then look at clubs considered inferior to us. Some are actually spending more than us. That's the big difference pre Mosh. Other mid table clubs etc weren't spending like they are now.

Here's a table that can compare our spending over the last five years with both the so called big hitters and mid table teams. To be honest it looks quite dire unless the club have unlimited resources. I think I'm right in saying that it will be four years of ownership for Moshiri this February.
Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool all have a significantly better net spend over that span and Arsenal's is similar. The two manc clubs are in their own stratosphere though and really should be miles ahead of all teams domestically:

Interestingly both Brighton and Wolves are near us over that span but other typical mid table clubs such as Leicester, West Ham and Bournemouth have managed their finances much better for a similar points return and obviously Leicester are pulling away this season it seems:

We have spent more then spurs and Liverpool since mosh came in 2016 and have taken less then them in transfer fees received aswell

Youse are over looking that those teams had better squads already and had been spending for years previously. OK we technically spent more than Liverpool but they sold a player for well over 100m which offsets that and they are buying players like VVD for 75m. They spend more on individual players, massive fees for world class players to add to their already strong squads. Regarding the last 3 seasons mid table squads also have been spending similar amounts to us therefore the league is gonna be harder.
 
Leicester, although winning the league in 2016 could consolidate a top 4 place. They've spent well already and have 80m from Maguire that they can spend in January.

Wolves have a bit of ambition but could get caught out being in the Europa league. Their stadium is modern and has a decent capacity.

If Newcastle ever get taken over by a semi competent owner they will spend on the squad. They have a large stadium which is fairly modern so no real investment is needed.

There was talk of Leeds being taken over by the same Qataris who own PSG, however Elland Road is a dump and would need a bit of money spent on it.

Wasnt Usmanov linked with Charlton last year?. They have the potential to be a decent investment if they could get back in the Premier league. Low purchase price, ok stadium and London is attractive to foreign players.
 
Elland Rd is better than a fair few Premier League grounds and has easy scope for expansion on at least three sides. Rail and motorway within yards too.
