The flip side to that will be Ashley using it as an example of shrewd investment leading to a Premier League title.
Aye, but they invested in a squad. There's the difference. If we had signed a few more bodies on loan, for a modest fee or even on a free of quality/premier league experience we would all be a lot more content. Everyone can see that the squad is in desperate need of an injection of quality, it's the bullshit penny pinching that stops us making a decent fist of things.
