Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Sure they did. More like they were desperate to get a big name and Pellegrini wouldn't accept a sacking clause

 

Mistake of the century.Big Sam likes this type of challenges and he is available.

 

It certainly would be a challenge for fat sam to achieve a contract with no sacking clause.
"So Mr. Allerdyce, before we discuss your renumeration, or even have your orientation, let us discuss our terms for when you inevitably have your employment terminated"

 

TBF, it would be the first item on Sam's agenda anyway...

what are we talking about? CBA to read further back.

 

Hard to believe our lack of success in relation to spending since the beginning of the Premier League, we've even spent more than Man U.

Spurs have **** all to show for their spend and not far behind. At least we can point to 3 cl finals and 1 Europa final.

Unless they want to start counting top 4 or 2nd place as success, as we can't

 

Net spend

 

Because we have not been buying quality in the past.

 

Bournemouth figure is weird as they have only been in prem last few seasons.

I know fees have recently gone silly but seems odd the figures quoted for them.

 

Mate, we can point to far more than that. Since the beginning of the Premier League we've won -

3 F A Cups
4 League Cups
2 Charity Shields
1 European Cup
1 UEFA Cup
2 Super Cups

Spurs - 2 League Cups. That puts them a long way behind in terms of comparing us on spend and what we have to show for it.

 

I know mate I just didn't want to insult the deluded spuds more than I had to

 

It was a good exercise for me looking it up, I'd forgotten some of them. I'm well impressed with us now

Yaya Toure left Manchester City this summer after eight years with the club, and joined Olympiakos on 2 September
Who have just moved to London.

 

It's all true. can't argue with that table. we have been very regular and consistent spenders. I think the npv calculation is a good one.

it does push us up as we've been spending at a rate since 1992 with only 2009to 2016 say as hard times.

you can see city are only Johnny come latelys to the party...

however.... 1992... when football was invented. a different table exists in the 5,10,15 and 20 year time frames so to go back to 1992 say a it's got a bit of an agenda.

 

for your spurs friends... it's what 25 years? and 300mil total not even net but just gross spend so.... 10 and a bit mil total npv.

well guess what.. spurs probably today have a transfer budget that's 10mil less than us so....

 

You think that’s weird. Brighton’s actually went down lol

you have to realise that npv means a fee in last 5 years is worth a lot less by compounded inflation than say a fee in 1998.

for example rio Ferdinand fee is probably vast part of utds adjusted number than Jordan ones 15 mil fee.

so the teams who spend big way back and set records are probably at top of list.

what i dont know is the rates at which the npv was calculated. was it market inflation in football or rate of inflation annually in UK
over years.

 

more appropriate would be mahrez. He was never ever getting a work permit in UK if UK was outside eu. he was 500k for an absolute no name.

if UK applies same rules it applies to players like Allan from Brazil then the prem is ****ed.
