Time to dismiss the big spending bruce theory

The buffoon's spending has given us our 3rd highest finish in f***ing years. Considering just how in the shit we were, the net spend since Quinn became Chairman was vital.

And please, no arguments that Newcastle spent fuck all and bounced back up, they were in nowhere near as bad a position as we were.
Even better than the 19 and 15 points seasons, or the 3rd division season. Well done Brucie!
 
OK. Lets forget about Net Spend...

Is the squad a shit load stronger than the day Bruce arrived? Yes
Have we finished higher season on season under Bruce? Yes
Have we just had our 3rd highest finish in over half a century under Bruce? Yes

You moan when we spend money
You moan when we dont
You moan that players are shit, and then cry when we sell themYou actively campaigned for fans not to sell to Quinn during the takeover
Time and time again you predict our demise then shy off when it doesnt happen.
You actively want to be able to prove other fans (I dont even know if its right to refer to you as a fan) wrong when they predict good things for the club.

You would like nothing more than to see Bruce take us into the conference so you could stand, head held high, and announce "I told you so."

You are a running joke on this board, and your attitude towards SAFC f***ing stinks. If you are not a mag in disguise then you are a very sad, lonely and tormented man.

Now do us all a favour and fuck off, eh?


Links.
 
Ahhhh sorry, so because you can show me a website with estimated figures, that's definitely how much he's spent?

You're digging yourself deeper and deeper in the stupid hole.


So those figures are nowhere near?

And where does he come in the SAFC manager spending league?

Are you for real? Are you seriously saying that selling players does nothing come in to the over all judgment of Bruce?

Looks like it...
 
And Bruce has spoken many times about the support he's received.

Indeed... Bruce normally has players sold from under him and none of it to spend.

Bruce appreciates that he gets money to spend...
Quinn and Short appreciate he is managing to bring the wage bill down while at the same time funding many of his purchases through sales.
 
People ignore fees as we have literally no idea what they are and how they are paid. Some are wrapped up in the transfer fees themselves, often there are external agents involved. We have literally no idea so how can people be expected to include them when working out net spend?

Eh?

Well they include many of the undisclosed transfers and add ons for said transfers when doing a net spend, usually because of media reports so why not loan fees which are in the media too?

But that's it in a nutshell and not just about loan fees, add ons etc - the transfer fee itself is usually undisclosed with different sources saying different things because of how its made up. Liverpool saying up to 16m for Henderson Iirc and either us or sources close to us saying 20m, bent in for 10.5 up to 16m and out for between 18m and 24m. Yet they're often prepared to include the 20m out for Henderson or 24m for bent because of hearing it in the media (or Gyans apparent 6m loan fee), but take no account of other media reports of amounts paid for loans etc.

It just makes doing a net spend a bit pointless when many of the fees these days aren't simply covered by the inital transfer fee, which half the time is a media guess anyway.

So Bruce has spent nowt

Or 3billion pounds, we just don't know. We can have a guess, but if were going to do it on transfers then ffs don't rely on websites which don't know the ins and outs half as well as your average sunderland fan and at least be consistent.

Ignoring loans when we've also had so many skews things a bit too don't you think?
