If you keep spending huge sums of money on poor managers we're unlikely to get any better either. I'd be keen to see a graph on managerial spend in the same timeframes of your other graphs. I imagine we'll be very near the top of the league there, despite our managers being Koeman, Ancelotti (the obvious outlier in the list), Benitez, Lampard and Dyche. The amount of money we've laid out for mediocrity or worse in that department is truly shameful (we were almost certainly still shelling out for Silva, Allardyce and Martinez in that timeframe, too). Who knows, we might have been able to spend some of that money on improving our net spend placing.
