    Ha ha, of course not.

    You never heard the phrase 'you win nothing with kids'?

    Never heard of things like the Busby Babes?

    This is piss easy mate, now toodle off and look it all up because no, the team that 'spends most' doesn't always win.

    There are plenty of times when clubs have out spent the best squad out there and failed.

    We are currently one of them, but that doesn’t mean that previously we've had successful squads and been out spent by others, loads of times.

    But do feel free to continue crying that clubs have won more than you because it's all down money and it not being fair, but nothing to do with your club just being largely ****e.

    They look like they have no faith in the manager, and no fight… basically reverting to the bunch of mismatched youngsters that they looked like early Poch.

    A reasonable salary cap does it.

    Other sports do it.

    It’s class that they’ve spent the GDP of a dodgy Central American dictatorship to not have a goalkeeper or striker.

    Great, so if everyone else can spend you can just keep growing your success organically then.

    You’d need Old Scrotum Face and the Glazers to fund a spends race with us though, so good luck with that…

    Almost like they’ve been waiting for… erm, some kind of judgement or ruling or something.

    A win without lifting a finger mate… just sitting back and letting the foundations lay themselves.

    Indeed, backdated larger amounts is a possibility on any inflated requests sent to the PL, which were subsequently rejected.

    If they did of course, but it seems the obvious reason behind the very questioned lack of sponsorship deals since they bought the club.

    Everything for a reason.

    Agree, but it’s not going to to be globally accepted or enforceable and then “brands” would eventually be starved of the best talent.

    The problem is they wanted to go down this SCR/wages route, but percentage based. It would simply allow the likes of Manchester to continue spending more than other clubs even though they have less money than them.

    They don't want a competition they want to guarantee their continued status and don't want any other club being able to do the same things they did to grow the business.

    If they were a boxer they'd be insisting their opponent not being allowed access to a training camp and a restriction on food and water. Go champ.

    Not impressed by that Maresca at all really. Know he won the league with Leicester last season but the squad he had they should have ran away with it much more than they did.

    It’s quite incredible really. Hugely entertaining when even after all their bizarre spending and PSR wrangles and obscene splurging, they still have massive holes in the squad…

    It could be said that I’m trying to force a rivalry by laughing at their mismanagement and misfortune, but it’s just funny.

    Manager won’t last. They’ll get it right one day and still be allowed to to get away with murder along the way.

    Must wake up every day wondering how the **** he’s there. Will get the boot and land a job with a big club off the back of this (Roma or something) before fading away. He’s won the lottery.

    Fully agree… he’s not good enough and a lot of Leicester fans said as much when he went there. No plan B, no real dynamic in game management… he looked utterly lost last night and the players at the final whistle just looked like they’d switched off.

    Great to watch.

    Weird thing is second half of last season they had started to actually look like a Poch team and he'd seemed to have turned it around. Was mental to bin him for this bloke really.

    Funny though.

    Looks like Cucurella had a mare which is probably a good indicator. Bloke downs tools more than Sucky.
