    What is with this bullshit list? Hughes? AVB? Pardew?

    Is this combined clubs across their careers? How is that relevant to what LVG has failed to achieve at United?

    Just for the record, LVG has won as many PL titles as all of your very peculiarly constructed list!

    Ranieri's spend is here - http://www.transferleague.co.uk/chelsea/english-football-teams/chelsea-transfers

    No idea what point the lad's trying to make by fabricating stuff. Maybe LVG has pictures of him...

    Ranieri did the best he could. It isn't his fault he faced up against the Invincibles.

    Your argument is pretty flawed. It doesn't matter how much a club spends, it's the players being bought with the money.

    Speaking of players, Ranieri bought some really awful players like Glen Johnson, Wayne Bridge, Mutu etc. Goes to show how you spend with the investments.

    Ranieri had one season under Roman. It was a more successful season than LVG has managed so far.

    Spurs get their money from Joe Lewis / ENIC. If you want to talk net spend then there's your example.

    Is he honestly now pretending that we weren't expected to be challenging for the league this season??? That he himself wasn't expecting that?!

    Ofcourse he has me on ignore now so I can't ask the question. Good job for his sake tbh.

    Didn't mention net spend.

    And we likely won't, but right now, its impossible to say anyone one will win it. Nobody seems bothered so anyone of 5 teams could stumble across the line.

    Spending at one club, bar AVB as stated. Taken from transfermarket site.

    Spending isn't the key, as shown. Was it Rodgers who said spending £100m should have you challenging for the title... Only for him to fail miserably after saying it? Too easy to say spending must equal success as the list above shows its not always the case.

    Honestly, who mentioned net spend?

    Ranieri spent £200m in the early 00s and didn't win a title. That's right up there with the worst of them.

    Stan mentioned van Gaals spending and that he should be winning titles due to it. I've simply demonstrated he is wrong. It requires more than spending.

    Not sure what else there is to say.

    So on one post Stan accuses me of making it up, only to then quote the same website I was referring too.... <laugh>

    Also keeps mentioning net spend. No idea why. Care to explain Stan?

    UIR is a pure fantasist. The sad thing is that he honestly cannot see the tangled web of bull5hit he weaves <laugh>

    I very much doubt your list in that case. Very much.

    Ranieri had a better season than LVG has/will manage.

    And he was sacked.

    His replacement won the league. Twice.

    Because the figures you quoted were incorrect. £190m for LVG when the website clearly states £250+m. I was trying to make sense of the figures you were manipulating/fabricating.

    I did state that being in the early 00s it was an massive amount. He spent £153m in one season, 12 years ago. That's the most mental single season spend of any manager.
