    Wasn't aware we played them in October, I don't pay as much attention to our fixtures as you do.
    I just take them as they come since you have to play everybody at least twice every season, timing means nothing.

    Agreed. However, they are one of the most reliable indicators to predicting sucess.

    If you hired a manager who had a clue about prices he'd almost certainly also have more of a clue about coaching than your current #notactics #fraud <ok>

    In a linier mathematical world, unfortunately football is played in real life (FIFA excepted of course) :emoticon-0100-smile

    Far too complicated for you to understand but google is your friendly kindergarten teacher to walk you through it.

    I tried the whole kindergarten bit with net spend and the Luiz deal but, you just aren't ready for it yet, so I am not going there with this.

    Yes you ignored it and made up bollox as you dont like it. Fair enough, you dont want to accept critism of your team, thats fine.

    Not a coincidence that teams he's at who vastly outspend their rivals pick up the odd trophy. His main influence is to deliver fewer trophies than investment suggests they should win, hence him getting repeatedly sacked.

    I can accept any logical criticism of my team/club, I add to it myself when they deserve it <ok>

    You accepted that a player plus cash deal is all part of a total spend. yet insist that if a player is sold to another club first then the money received when used to buy a new player goes toward reducing net spend.

    You also claim that

    paying 30p to buy something
    using it for while then selling it for 50p
    then a while later buying it back for 30p and pocketing 20p
    then using the 20p and adding 4p more to buy a 24p item (meaning you now have 54p worth of goods for an outlay of 34p)
    Is bad business

    :huh:

    (I kept the figures low to make it easy)

    Yep, Porto and Inter were everybody's tips to win the CL, very expected. You do know he went 150 games undefeated at home over 9 years and 4 different leagues I take it, that was only to be expected though.

    I didnt insist anything and neither have i claimed anything was bad business. Just out of interest, who have utd sold for a 40% profit on the purchase price and then purchased back at the same price?
