madras Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 wouldn't those figures not have us as a selling club ,just less of a buying club as man utd,spurs,arsenal, liverpool all brought in more than us from player sales. also could someone check those figures as it's difficuilt to understand boro spending near 80million in that timescale.

Guest Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It also just misses out the year when we spunked about £40m net which has lead to those sorts of figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 the 1-off for AC. Quite a few of the figures are altered by so called one offs. Sweet jesus. The main difference I guess is that you still have that 35M to spend. In Pardew's dreams, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Arsenal are second to us in terms of selling - I dont see how that model has effected then too much. CL football every year (with nothing won in a few seasons mind). Just another stick to poke MA with I guess. That said, the majority of players (bar Carroll) where in most cases not wanted by the majority of fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Manchester Uniteds position there is a perfect example of why sorting by "net sold" means nothing. You can sell all the players in the world for as much cash as you can get for them and if you're spending on bodies coming in, the net amount doesn't mean anything. Sorting by Purchased Gross is better, imo, for determining ambition and/or selling club status. Not that 13th is all that great, but that does factor in a relegation year where we only spent 1.5m on players (according to this site) (although interestingly on two players who've come good in Simpson and Williamson).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah, good angle on it. Also, if you went back pre-2006 I'm sure you would find us higher up the gross spending league. Also, for a full picture you would surely have to factor in the club's overall bottom line and some sort of analysis of its debt position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
