Ole said lot's of agents have been intouch, looking to get their players into United, I believe that. United under Ole and the very apparent feelgood factor and genuine warmth from the incumbent players towards Ole and the coaching staff will not have gone un-noticed. |

not that i'm a fan of the owners or woody, they're massive @#%&!s, but out of interest how does our 'net spend' compare with Liverpool's over the last, say, 5 years? Yes we've won more but they've spent pretty well in the last couple of seasons. Certainly compared with us.
I'm not really convinced the 'we can't spend city's money' argument is valid other than comparing ourselves directly to them. If Liverpool can keep up with them in the league there's no reason we can't. We just need to be smarter. |

The structure of the club is all wrong, we’ve allowed three completely different managers to spend hundreds of millions to re build us. That’s always going to cause problems It’s not so much we haven’t spent enough money (because we’ve spent a shit load) it’s that it’s been spent under three different managers in six years and each with their (very different) ideas on how we should play. That falls on the shoulders of the people making the decisions. Let’s not forget Woodward apparently told Klopp we were “the Disney land of football”... That’s who we have overseeing things at the club... |

If not, my point about net spend is that whatever Liverpool have spent (net), we surely must have equalled - further point being money is not a sufficient excuse to not 'keep up' at least with city. |

Again I'm not giving the glazers free reign, we should be spending far more given our size, it's just not a great excuse when it comes to the shit show we've had to endure because our spending has been, for the most part, a £#%&!ing abomination. |

Or is it purely coincidence that their largest ever spending sprees occurred around the time of the their largest ever sales? |

Transfer fees also tend to go up rather than down so you'd expect transfer spending to be higher more recently than 5 or 10 years ago. Maybe it's a coincidence that ever increasing turnover has resulted in ever increasing transfer spending? |

My point is, we have spent more than Liverpool (gross £10m, net £240m) in the last 5 seasons therefore we can't use the glazers perceived lack of spending as an excuse for our current predicament. That's not really even a debate as it seems fairly obvious our lack of stability at managerial level and lack of leadership and proper footballing structure at board level is what's at fault. |

Actual transfer fees are rarely known; How the fees are paid is known even less; Fees themselves form only a proportion of the money available to a club to spend on transfers. If you wanted to specify spending as a percentage of turnover sure... I'd still have issues with it but it would at least be relevant. |
