What is the matter with you all ! Chelsea have far superior players to us and after last weeks loss they were absolutely determined to not let it happen again. They showed their quality. For us to improve on our present position will take a lot more than a change of manager it will take loads of dosh which we do not have. We are at our peak and fans will just have to accept it. Change will only come with new loads of money owners. COYP Spot on. Welcome to the glass ceiling. You don't have to like it, but to ignore its presence is ridiculous.

And that is what I am currently doing selling my flat for a high price and opefully and moving into a rental for a year or Two. Much as it sounds like a very exciting time in your life aero; you might have the wrong thread; although a season ticket could be yours with a bit of profit

So we haven't spent 30mil each on Bentele and Sakho since we came up? Two failures. I have no idea what our total spend it but it's not behind Villa or Leeds average. We just have an negative idiot for a manager who wants nothing other than to drag us down while we continue to just tread water.

I’m very split on this, of course many teams have more resources than us and that equals better quality players. However a more savvy manager playing players in the correct positions would be a good start. Eze should be behind the front 2 and whenever was Ayew a winger when Zaha is, added to that a midfield duo that needs someone else in there to help them out, enough is enough a change of management is needed

Get a grip! Do you think 1 shot on target is purely down to the quality of Chelsea? They got beat 5 2 by West brom last week, the fact fans are happy to accept performances like this sums it all up!!!! ^^ This , Leeds just beat City 2-1 with then men, a team with one of the best squad , manager and unlimited funds. We were set up to lose 442 nothing new .. it’s dross it’s lazy and it’s embarrassing .. Roy was happy when we won 1-1 against Fulham..

I would politely suggest that total spend is not the only thing you have no idea about. Everyone can have an opinion of course, even when based on nothing Originally posted by steven_t92

I'd have thought Villa have spent almost the same as us in 2 seasons than we have since our return to the Prem. So that's a clear sign of the difference in financial clout. The two big signings we did make were a statement of intent at the time but haven't really worked out that well and have since financially hamstrung us.
