[Albion] Position of clubs compared to transfer spend

Do you want to chip in your wedge to make up the difference?
What's that got to do with the price of fish? I am merely interpreting the statistics as set out by El Pres.
Anyway, I was around when we all chipped in to buy Bert Murray. Let someone else have a go!

Last season, and possibly this season, it kept a clearly bottom 3 club (El Pres states financial facts) up. We should’ve dropped with Hudd, Swansea and (hopefully) Cardiff.
TB has bankrolled these first two seasons in a very prudent way (who can blame him), compared to almost all the opposition, so it’s no surprise that our first team ain’t much cop when we play teams bursting with quality.
Whether CH is sacked in the summer or not, it can never be held against him that he had a top 17 budget ... he patently didn’t.
I think we will win tonight( famous last words) and stay up.
I am not a Hughton hater, ( I reserve that for Brian Clough!!) but I am in the camp that believes he has his limitations as a Prem manager, regardless of budget.
Whatever happens, I wish him well.
Enjoy the game, I feel relaxed, I don’t know why.

I’m not too sure how much of a say CH has in spending the budget. I get the impression that he’s given a list of players who meet the club’s criteria and has the last say, which could be the best of a bad job. Certainly the most recent major spends have been disappointing - I suspect thatCH is as disappointed as us but isn’t in a position to comment.
As for you feeling relaxed - I must get some of the pills you must be on!

Good point, how did Manure get such a strong Asian following in the first place which I know is a huge amount of their at arms length income? I really dont know that and would be interested if anyone knows

I’m punch drunk with all our home losses.
Sky TV coverage when they won trophies, plus their chief execs were light years ahead on overseas marketing in the 90’s.
Anyone got the transfer and wages figures for Cardiff?
