Yes I get that, but most owners would be looking at the state of our midfield and sanctioning additional spending to give us the best possible chance of being successful.
Exactly. Any other top team, Real Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea, PSG, even Barca who are broke, would be scrambling to rectify this shit show and it would have been done years ago. Whatever it took. Sell shares, whatever.
I keep hearing people backing the Glazers for spending a billion. But when you break it down, in the transfer market of the last ten years, what does a billion get you if you don’t spend well. Pogba was bought for 90 million, that’s pretty much a tenth of a billion. He should’ve been sold for 60-70 m two years ago at the latest. Martial the same. And when you spend 40m on a benchwarmer, a billion is clearly not enough. The fact that City have outspent us is damning because they already had a better squad than us when Fergie retired.
The glazers drag their heels over every bit of recruitment, except Ronald who was a commercial dream.
