As you said before it's not about how much is spent, it's more Benitez being allowed to build the squad he feels he needs.

whats all the drama for on this thread, as the mags keep pointing out rafa benitez is a world class manager so he should get them top half easy. it doesn't matter if he has 10 million to spend his managerial qualities will obviously shine through as he's world class

I have no idea what you were talking about. Ashley wasn't duped, or tricked, he was found guilty of constructive dismissal.

You said Ashley wouldn't fall for that again, but he didn't feel for it at all, he was guilty of it.

As a journalist you'd think he would appreciate the law that states you can have no reasonable expectation of privacy when in public ...... you're perfectly at liberty to photograph anything or anyone from a public area.
Although you shouldn't really photograph their private areas without their permission

Exactly so answer the question.
Last summer if Ashley had said Benitez would be given 85m to get you promoted and stay up would you have thought it was enough?

It's 'fall' man - keep up at the back Fish. You've been on this forum far too long and it's clear you're becoming complacent.

Here's an idea ...... break your duck, start your first thread and make it so interesting inferior threads, such as this one, die of natural causes
I'll start the stopwatch .........

I'm drawn back in as this place is quite simply the number one place on the internet to discuss all things NUFC.
That, and the forlorn hope that one day I might actually get to see some new and original anti-NUFC craic.

It's the other totally shite threads that keep pushing people onto this one
https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/sti-footballers.750107/
Here's one ....... next season NUFC will arrive at a point in their history whereby the entire second half of the existence will be totally free of the winning of a current major trophy.
Over 60 years without a celebration at Wembley or a title, longer than most of the Mags on here have been alive.
How can such a big club, with such incredible support, be such a massive failure?

Depends what was bought with the £85m. Turns out the money spent to go up was enough, but the market has changed significantly from one summer window to the next. Had we not got £80m from Sissoko, Wijnaldum etc. there is no way Ashley would have allowed £55m to be spent. Had we not got promoted we would not be spending again, look at Aston Villa's lack of expenditure thus far.
Man City have already spent £155m on players, £69m on right backs alone. Without taking into account the inflated window you would think that from where they were, such expenditure should deliver the title, but they're still not the favourites because of who they've brought in.
This isn't about fees paid for players, it's about standard of players brought in. Benitez bought 11 players for the Championship campaign, and (as has been repeated on here often) he'll need to change the squad again now that the team is in the Premier League. I saw someone say he should have bought young hungry players that could make the step up into the Premier League. Well that's great in hindsight, but it made total sense to build a side that would deliver automatic promotion, and worry about the squad for the Premier League once that's assured. Had we bought younger unproven inexperienced player we may have crumbled under the pressure of being favourites in nearly every game, of meeting expectations, of a long tough season.
If you'd said Ashley will give Benitez support in only 2 windows to get us up and keep us up I'd be concerned. If we end up spending another another £50m (we won't) and that delivers us safety, then it's money well spent as it's immediately paid for by the TV money. You seem to be implying Benitez has bought poorly, or that we're being reckless with the money? Neither of these are the case.

Any pics for me yet fat Reg?
You can't help but think of me can you? I'm on your mind constantly, you sad fat fucker.
Friday evening and you're posting on a sunderland forum asking if anyone is going out! You lot really don't get it.
Alright chubs.
I'm hoping you used your enforced break to evaluate, and hopefully do something constructive with your life......but no doubt you were chomping at the bit to get back here and post about the Mags again. Like you do every single day of your life.
p.s. Re the pics, you show me yours and I'll show you mine.
Wrong, we beat Liverpool in the Mercantile Credit Football Festival at Wembley in 1988.
