Most managers have crap buys, Luke Shaw /Mourinho is a classic , when you shop in Primark you have more chance at buying shit.Do you think he really wanted the likes of Joselu? No, however he got a rag bag bunch of average players to 10th, the bloke is very good, not perfect but dont disrepect him for a few shite buys, better managers have bought worse.

Spent 10m+ on Murphy last summer who he never played, add that to the 5m on Joselu and you could have had a decent centre forward ...

Well he wanted a dogshit player like Slimani ahead of a slighty less dogshit player in Mitrovic so who knows

I agree, but Leicester paid a fortune for him, bang average strikers are £25m in the PL, its nuts, Rondon is shite and why we pursue him is beyond me, we cant buy a top knotcher so its all a gamble, one Ashley simply wont have, thats why he likes the buy young and develop type, when he was intetested but that too is a risky model.

We will always be at risk of going down as are a good dozen clubs , its been like this for 5-6 years now.

But where does all the money from tv and tickets go? Surely there must be some left?

Do you have large external debts that are costing in interest?

Transfer fees and wages for players he never plays.

He's signed a few duds that never get mentioned. That keeper he paid £5 million for, Grant Hanley and the Spanish full back.

Absolutely, but my point is Benitez shit buys tend to get swept under the carpet. Nearly all of our manager's since I can remember lived and died by their shit signings, signings they were slated for by our fans.

He only bought them because they were way down his list though.
Yet Murphy was roundly acknowledged to be a buy he wanted.

There is money but hes not prepared to flash it around on £30-£40 million pound players, he's got us up for sale and can do what he wants as its his club, tbf he's forced Benitez into trying to make average players get better and its developed a good team spirit so in truth i am happy with it, against the opinion of most our fans who just want to live in a fantasy world.
