Can't compare mate - the game and market is completely different now.

Your seasons start just after we signed Fellaini for a massive, record breaking 15m. Nowadays we're throwing 5m at players for the academy.

 

[PDAWG]

Moyes spent less than the managers who came in after him

 

[tommye]

And your point is?

 

[john jako]

The world has changed in a short space of time. If we lived on that net spend with our scouting team we would be in the championship now.

Not saying we have spent well, we have spent terrible. The whole transfer picture has dramatically changed. If your now known to have money, you are getting fleeced.

Disagree. All that's changed is we now have money to spend and we've wasted it.

...its about buying good footballers, and we’ve spent a lot of money on footballers who are not good footballers.

 

[GwladysPhil]

So what you're saying is, we need a time machine to take advantage of previous football economics?

 

[havrey0123]

We don't unitlise the lower leagues like we used to under Moyes.

The likes of Maddison, traore, Daniel James, all came from the the lower leagues

Inflation sucks.

Some were good footballers, then came here and somehow flopped.

Martinez belongs in both categories wasn't it him who had us finish 5th.

 

[TheBigIguana]

We need a plan. Moyes had one and that's why we were so consistent while he was here. Moshiri has come in and fired money everywhere but it means nothing without direction.

The denominating factor is that we won absolutely nothing during either period.

 

[RomanReigns]

Which is why I would have given Moyes a chance in this new era to see what he could have achieved

Would have dispelled the what ifs
