That’s not true at all; about 3 times we made a decent profit on “squad players”; a lot of players were just released.Our failure in recruitment hasn't just been buying rubbish its also been not being able to shift average players out for cash to reinvest.
No one can tell me the likes of Liverpool, Leicester, Spurs etc couldn't offload a Michael Keane or Mason Holgate to a bottom half/newly promoted type club for say £15-20 million.
We are awful at player trading these days which is what we were great at under Moyes.
