I don't normally like to generalise, and paint a bunch of people with the same brush. But in their case, it genuinely is, in the main, true. You don't generally encounter many that are educated or have an ounce of intelligence.

And within current psr parametersWhich is less than a quarter of theirs

It'll be because we never bought low / sold high.
I actually like psr (although any condition will bring a negative aspect also) Means clubs have to be spot on with recruitment or they cant progress.
We got to the prem on the back of a similar recruitment strategy. Continue it at a higher level and we can go far fairly quickly.

This is the issue. Their infrastructure behind the scenes is awful. Jack Ross as head of football strategy! Non existent scouting network.

Man U have been incredibly badly run. I’m all for rules that level the playing field but these rules don’t.
The premier league is becoming really predictable, more so than ever. If the top 4 is any different to last season I’ll be very shocked. The order may change, the teams won’t.
Add to that global pull, financially they’re on a different planet. What the mags can’t cope with is that it is generated funds.

Rob “dwarfs heed” Earnshaw twisting about it on Sky now
Nah. Are you on a wind up?
Last season the top ten was anything but predictable.

I would also hazzard a guess that the majority of our buys are already worth more than we paid for them, as opposed to the over inflated buys that they have made.Which is less than a quarter of theirs

Should be stricter for me like -make it an even playing field.

they've spent a small fortune over the last few years but seemingly forget that because they want their Saudi overlords to be allowed to buy the league with an unlimited spend. I'm not even sure they would if allowed tbh given the structural shitshow at the club. seems to be a little bit of lost interest as an outsider looking in
they've been turned down by about a dozen players, offered Sesko more wages than he's getting at Man U by all accounts, turned down a 100m plus offer for someone refusing to play for them etc.
but the cartel is the problem

I’m not talking about them, I hope they go bust. I’m talking about the league in general. The promoted teams get relegated, the top 4 rarely changes. If this continues the league is dead.
Top 4?

But as you have been shown, it is changing man.
Where did Spurs and Man U finish last year?

But those teams have been built up over a sustained period of time of success and global fan growth, mainly Liverpool, Arsenal & Utd. They make so much money from fans overseas.
Chelsea and City is a bit more of a blurred line because up until Abramovich & the Qatari takeover, if they were bought out now they would be nowhere near as successful.
However, City have consistently sold players at a very good value and retained money because of their sellable assets. Look at the profit they made on Alvarez. The mags complain about PSR, meanwhile have a player who actively wants to leave and rejected a bid for over 100M which they could reinvest into the squad.
That’s being convenient though.
PSR ceilings should be based on crowd noise imho
That's not going to change anytime soon , those 5 have a huge advantage due to global revenues , the next tier of Spurs,Newcastle and Villa are trying to take a small slice of that pie and I guess that’s where we (and others ) want to be too
Clubs still need to be sustainable though, let’s not forget if Villa hadn’t of got promoted when they did they would have been docked points in the EFL due to FPP and they sold their women’s team to themselves so can’t really paint themselves as the plucky team being unfairly held back by the cartel

Should be on how much your owner vapes in the stands. KLD
Our net spend and there's are very similar. Not that those dumb fucks can work that out.
We've recruited very well, on 12 players mainly from abroad and they've bought 3 players, 2 British based and paid over the knocker for all 3.
We're also starting with a pretty much clean slate re: PSR and they aren't.
