I didn't mention Mourinho pal. You seem a bit obsessed....

Surely the 'best coach in the world', with a squad that had won the treble the previous season (+ further investment), should be getting to the CL final? No?

And if they did then maybe it reduces our excuses. I think City are plastics and its soulless; I also think it's a lame excuse from our POV.



United's net spend over the last 18 months is quite similar to CIty's.

if city sign Marhez 50 million it means they have spent 200 million more than us, not that similar..

I don’t agree with you. Deal with it and move on.

So Fergie wasn't the best around in 99?

Out of order imo.

No they haven't. Unless SKY's figures were drastically wrong on MNF about three weeks ago.

It was an answer to your question, pal. I'm sorry that it destroyed your point. The game is the game.

If you spend money you are bringing back in, that isn't heavy expenditure. Find me net spend figures and we'll talk.

If you’re united fan, you’re a stupid one.

Correct.

There wasn’t further investment the summer we won the treble. Replaced probably the best goalkeeper in our history with a free transfer. One Ferguson supposedly never wanted.

Yeah but isn’t selling players just another form of income into the club like signing a sponsorship deal with a tractor company

Are the figures accurately reported? Do transfer fees take into account signing on and agent fees? Do player sales take into account payoffs and such? The money city receive in player sales are meaningless to their Abu Dhabi owners.

Considering City’s spending apparently renders any of their success meaningless, some of you don’t half spend a lot of time going on and on about them.

On top of the 500 million look at the players he already had to start with

Can't be arsed googling a list but somone might

what

you've lost it pal.

Getting back on topic, sad to see the best coach in the world reduced to being the worst perpetrator of his own pet hates




Minutes given to man city academy graduates this season?
