Why can’t we be on par with the whole league average? Why distort the figures by removing the top 6-7.

Can we be on par with 2 of the newly promoted teams (Wolves and Fulham) if you’re picking and choosing? After all this is our second season in the division.

There were 11 clubs this season that have spent below the £50m average you talk about, so in essence you're keeping company with the majority of the league. To further spin out the use of 'averages' the average for those who spent below £50m was £16.76m, you lot spent £14.79m, so you could say you're spending on a par with the average of the majority. That's all NET spend of course.

We know, and that’s the issue. He runs it to suit his other interests and not to its maximum capabilities.

correct, and why shouldn't he? NUFC is a tiny part of his business empire, its a company that he pumped millions of his own money into to save it from going bust. he gets nothing but grief from the fans, no appreciation for running a good business with money he's loaned them without charging any interest. he's brought in a world class manager on a wage of £120,000 a week, sanctioned a record transfer budget, and paid ridiculous championship wages to get back to the PL at the 1st go. some clubs would kill for such a benefactor, yet all he hears is....'you fat cockney bastard, get out of OUR club' ? little wonder his hearts not in it. I think he deserves some respect.

That’s what they will never get the absolute dribblers, imagine them in our position.

Would go militant on the ground/city and make ISIS look like part timers.

Unfortunately I can see the mags winning, said it for ages though rather they stay up this season as at the moment if they went down they would get backed and if we go up more than likely beat us.

Let them simmer not beating us a bit more as we all know it kills them no matter how much the denie it.
