Wullie Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Crazy talk on here. We basically did what city are doing now when we were good. And outspent people. Only diff is our benefactor was local. I'd swap in a f***ing heartbeat We really didn't like. That's so wrong it's unbelievable like SanToon. We had an untested manager buying unproven players at market prices. We broke the transfer record for a proven player but we built towards that and loaned the money to do so. We built and built. Times have changed IMO. It's impossible to win a title through "gradual building" now Liverpool would have done that if Steven Gerrard hadn't fallen over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fair one if the money wasn't SJH didn't pay attention to the intricacies. But we were saddle with debt when he left right? Having spent too much money? Only with the stadium extension mortgage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having spent too much money? Only with the stadium extension mortgage. I thought we still owed loads in transfer fees that hadn't been paid? Including the Owen deal? Isn't that normal? Real Madrid probably wont finish playing Spurs for Bale for about 5 years or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If they can do it in Spain, why not here? In Spain all you need is for two teams to have a bad year. What Atletico are (about to) accomplish is still the equivalent of flipping a coin and having it come up heads fifty times straight. For us, it would be closer to five-hundred. Liverpool would have done that if Steven Gerrard hadn't fallen over. It's different for entitlement teams like Man United or Liverpool who had already built gigantic brands before the modern era, which allow them to generate enough cash to compete and attract players with their prestige. Money, money, and more money is the only option for teams on the level of Chelsea, Man City, or us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer we simply compete than unquestionably buy our way to league titles with a bottomless pit of Arabian oil money. We're doing nothing at the minute, we're simply irrelevant.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Money is an excuse to hide behind for not trying to be successful. I agree that you might not win the league, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to win a title through "gradual building" now If they can do it in Spain, why not here? One reason may be that in Spain they have an endless supply talent from South America who can be picked up cheap before they are established in national teams. Work permit restrictions mean English clubs don't have access to that huge pool of talent, unless they can afford to pay what it costs for established internationals.
