Player Valuation: £50m
For heavens sake....I'm just pointing out that the "massive" funds he had were generated from sales. The money for finishing 5th last year would only have covered a couple of players wages. Where on earth did I suggest anything else....pocketing money my arse.
So a "whopping transfer budget" is less than half the league and funded by selling three first team players?
Come on man, you're just inventing things to make martinez look bad at this point. He did not have unusually good financial backing compared to other managers in this league.

Player Valuation: £80m
Six players get sold for a total of 40 mill, the board says to the manager here is the 40 mill plus 20 mill from TV so your total to spend is 60 mill ( a net of 20 mill) but the manager has still been given a load of money to spend 60 mill.

Sorry Roydo, no more posts from me after the last one on this.
I'm not a kopite mate, I always talk gross but because that's the money you spend, it's been sanctioned to spend by the owner.
Villa have spent £40m less then us
If we sell barkley and stones for £63m but spend £60m on new players, yet villa buy one player for £5m are you saying that there chairman is better off because he's given more net spend???
Behave, he's spent £63m, he got shut of players that he didn't want and we're surplus to requirements, we haven't sold a player to keep a float, he's sold and spent to improve his squad

*sigh*
Ok, he's spent 63 million gross.
Spurs have spent 130 gross, Saints 105, Utd & City 200, Rs 160, Hull 65, Chelsea 230, Arsenal 135.
Then Sunderland, newcastle, palace, west, ham and swansea are spending 40-50 million gross.
It's simply not a lot of money for this league. All premier league teams spend that.
Dont care what the others have spent. You said villa.
We've invested more into the squad than villa. That's just a fact
So it's right then.
People use gross spend to hit over the kopites over the head with but won't use it with us.
And, frankly...it was needed. It wasn't like that was spent to top off the squad to actually be able to handle this schedule...it was basically the bare minimum to inject some hope.
No we haven't. Their squad cost 93 million in transfer fees, ours cost 70 million.
Fact.

Not arsed whether it is right or wrong mate. Just find it tedious.
But that's not what you said. You're changing your argument for the sake of it.
You said lambert spent more than martinez in the last 2 years.
He hasn't. That's a fact
