Even after that, they still spent 40m net in the summer - Luis Sinisterra, Unal was another.
Last summer they spent £125m.
The summer before that £85m.
So thats £250m, net, spent by Bournemouth the past 3 years.

... by comparison, Everton are the only club in the Prem to record a positive net spend the last 5 years.
The last 4 of them years, we've recorded a profit.
Everton are also the only team in the Prem to record 3 successive summer windows making a profit.
A team, widely condemned as circling the drain.
We'll continue to do so until there's investment.
We can rant and rave at the manager, but it's ridiculous to ignore that fact.
15+ teams are in the £100m+ net spend territory - West Ham sit 6th for spend at nearly £300m. Forest 8th just short of £250m.
Our next opposition have spent nearly £600m on transfer fees alone, while Everton have made a profit.

All true but it ignores the reckless spending that proceeded those 5 years and ( excluding Branthwaite) we have absolutely nothing to show for it.
Our net spend has been impressive but that doesn't change the probability that if we signed Haaland, Dyche would have him taking long balls into his chest 20 yards from goal
Thelwell deserves the credit for the net spend
A 5 year cycle isn't cherry picking though.
All teams spend.
Take any team in the league, and if they have to sell more than they buy for 4 years on the spin - will they improve? Unlikely.
And that was before has sod all to do with the current manager, or DOF.
A team that's on it's arse is going to continue to be so when it's the only team over 5 years in the division to be selling more than they spend.
Lash Gyokeres, Kudus, Minteh, Diaz, Gnonto - all we've wanted but had £0 to spend upfront or had to have other players leave as part of a deal - types in the team and it tips small margins in our favour.
Add some decent full backs, or pace ability out wide and we move up a few places. Add some actual ability in the final third and we do so again.

We were also 'lucky' in the respect of having a £50 million talent emerge from the youth set up. Doesn't bear thinking about where we'd be without that £50 million pure profit.
Having said that, you reap what you sow, so we weren't overly lucky, but thank christ we were able to bring that profit and cash in.
Another argument I love is 'Oh you want Dyche out, well who is replacing him' like it's our job to appoint a new manager haha and if you don't have a manager name they just dig their heels in further
If you have an opinion on whether he should be sacked, you can have an opinion on who could replace him.
All opinions, isn't it?

Thank god we’ve got a manager who’s great at working on a budget eh.
There's a reason we've not spent much the last few years and it's nothing to do with our owner not having cash to hand out.
None of this is justification for Dyche staying in the job, if that's what you are implying? The next time we do spend I don't want Dyche anywhere near the decision making or the training
The reason is irrelevant to the manager, the team and this thread discussion.
The outcome is.
Well it's not irrelevent is it, since our manager constantly brings up just how hard he has had it because of those reasons.
That assumption is part of the problem.
People refuse to acknowledge the full picture if it in anyway can be interpreted as mitigation for Dyche.
Like I've said on here before Dyche, and will do if he leaves tomorrow. This Everton team are bang in trouble until it spends. Another manager might take us a few places higher, or a few places lower. But we're still down bottom half of the table when we have Mykolenko and Young at full back, with a front 3 of players who can't score goals.
