But is that true if you add in transfer fees? And what if you then add in income from transfer fees? Does the £8m for Ulloa and the other money for Buckley make that performance so impressive?

And I guess snide is a fact is it? There's no real harm being robustly combative (with a thick skin) and there's no harm being totally wet - but you can't be both at the same time. Pick one online persona and stick to it.

I'm sorry, but you are a windbag. Stop with the ceaseless flow of non sequiturs on here and you'll get more love, from me at least.

Nah, you're just giving up and saying spending money is a waste of time as another argumentative empty gesture - something your own admittance of a correlation between spending and success showed wasn't true. The only thing we can draw from this is you should stick to the spreadsheets and don't...

You can always pull these outlier examples out of the bag if you want - but they remain the LEAST LIKELY way of promotion. Is that the aim of our club, the very long shot road to promotion every year? It's a recipe for disappointment most years alas

We will be condemned to being midtable fodder if we dont spend. It's all very well going on about Kayal but it's very unlikley you can build a promotion team on freebies. Of course not impossible, just very unlikely. And the board need to do a better job backing Hughton than that.
