Hes plop.
You're plop
I ended my career after 1 season after some lad scored 7 against me in 1 match.
Sounds like me last week at 5-a-side. These young'uns are getting too fast.

Hopefully Kevin can implement similar policies and transfer strategies that Red Bull Group use, seem like they've got their heads screwed on.
Yeh unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of his time in New York, nor really how they operate, since they're sort of the most commercial side out of the lot. Transfers work a little different in the MLS too but they still follow the same 'buy young' policy of the Red Bull group alongside a reliance on their academy (and swapping players between the Red Bull groups). Maybe some forum yanks will know a little more.

Are you aware of how much each side spends in relevance to the average net spend of their respective league? Do the spend more or less than the average side?
Is this question aimed at all Red Bull teams, or just New York?
If New York, from a cursory glance:
This season they spent £4.5m (-£2.9m net) and compared to the rest of the league that was on the low end with multiple teams spending in the £10-20m range. Last season looks similar fees but again, the way transfer budgets etc. are handled in the MLS is completely alien to us European footie fans.
If it was a broader question I did this table comparing Everton vs RB Leipzig spends since Moshiri arrived:
In terms of how RBL compare to other Bundesliga sides their spends are on the higher side in that division but their net spend is also on the lower side. They're flush with cash but trade well. From the table their anomaly season, 2016/17, was their first in the Bundesliga which is why the income is 0 as they had no one good to sell really.

Despite a difference net spend of 120m more one side finds itself barely escaping relegation while the other wins a majour honour.
Yes and I think you'd have to temper the sale total from both sides because one includes Everton selling English players or those with PL tax (Stones and Lukaku). Most of Leipzig's sales have been triggered release clauses and the Bundesliga itself doesn't really sell for enormous values. You're talking £50-60m spoken about this Summer for Nkunku, one of the best in the league, whereas it would be £100m+ if in the PL.
Here is the table for Salzburg, Red Bull's original team and the one that operates the most like their philosophy, but also smashes the other Austrian teams out of the water in terms of spending. However they can work in ways we could never, ever do due to the strength of the league and also a, quite, unfair farm team they have for themselves. Buy young and very, very cheap then sell for big bucks (and also sell on clauses aren't included here):

That's unbelievable, generating profit, dominating the league and can then move them players on to help their other teams in achieving their goals. Surprised there hasn't been any sort of uproar over there about this.
Not sure if this was intended as sarcasm but if not, there is, A LOT lol

I know in Germany they have a lot of resentment towards Leipzig/Salzburg but surely official intervention should have stepped in to prevent this all from happening?
There aren't any rules being broken and as far as company's go they're ran extremely well. I know we all love tradition but rich people buy footie clubs as businesses and nothing more - that's why I'm so surprised Mosh keeps giving us his dosh.

Not necessarily. Sheikh Mansour and Abramovich bought City and Chelsea to mainly boost their reputation in the West. Sportswashing I think the term is.
