Nice try, over the last 5 years we've spent £470M and brought in £390M, so net spend of £18.5M per year
Peter is a genuine person, everyone can see what you are.
What do you mean nice try?
In 2017 we spent £160 million
In 2018 we spent £160 million
In 2017 we recouped £165 million
In 2018 we recouped £35 million
I couldn't honestly give a toss what our net spend per year is, that's for people like yourself who like playing Football Manager and (with the greatest respect to you) are more interested in how much a club spends than what it does on the pitch. I think that's fair considering you said in the summer that you'd be happy for us to waste a load of money just as long as we were spending it.
Our 'net spend' over those two seasons (the last time we really hammered it in terms of improving the first team) was £120 million. Net. Not 'oh but that doesn't include Coutinho'. It does. So the idea that we 'only spend big after we've sold a big player' doesn't work. Now Asam, if you're not going to hibernate like usual until January then please do try a little harder to contribute.
