He's the ruler of Duloc although I am unsure whether that is in NI or not? Given it's fictitious in any circumstance, of little concern.

Also proves my point, we spend money when we need to.

We have needed to have planned succession for several seasons and we never had unlike BH&A for example who can lose several key players at huge profits but they always seem to have someone to replace those sold on without any adverse effect on performance. They also manage contracts very well, so that they can sell a player on rather then allow contracts to run down and then let them move away for nothing. The AWB revenue from MU was never used for transfers more likely it was used for planning permission!

On the BBC's thread they are printing all their interviews with managers ahead of the weekend's fixtures. Just about every one of them touches upon transfers, except for the interview with our manager, who just talks about Brentford, despite the fact we've only spent money on one player, an untried, untested youngster, who's injured.

That's about all I can muster so far as a moan but it is a bit depressing if not infuriating.

His MO is always kind, generous comments about the prospective opponents. He thereby deflects difficult questions. Read nothing more.

Also I prefer his approach. If he gets excited about incomings all that happens is west hams enquiry agents start sniffing about.

Annoyingly agree. That team are better at buying and selling than us. Actually they are better than every team £ for £. Brentford also good but not as good, and we are comparable.

If you want rubbish, ask Everton fans.

If you really want to know what the AWB money was used for, why not check out the club accounts? (Hint - it wasn't for what you are suggesting.)

It's in the past, we can't change that, all we need to know is it was not used to strengthen the team at a time when it was really needed for that purpose!

But presumably not as much as for the purpose for which it was used. After all, we're still in the PL so the decision not to use the money to buy players wasn't a catastrophe.

I’m with you but I understood the AWB money paid for the academy.

We also spent 125 million euros over 21/22 and 22/23 and received very little. I don’t get the negativity. We spend within our means.

All part of football's future plan, but it is surprising how few players from our academy make it to the top, so far anyway. We could do with one or two who don't need to go out on loan and all that, but are ready at 18 to take on the world. That's my dream tonight.
