Maybe so but he was an absolute gun for Arsenal, Pep wanted him, he wasn’t a bad player, far from it

I guess so unless they recoup some of that in sales which they did of course when selling lukaku and would if they sell Pogba for example
Poch got the level of backing Mourinho got in two seasons over 6 and Jose didn't have to worry about balancing the books either - lets see how many league cups he wins with us with that kind of backing.

There is a difference in backing that Poch received and excess spending backing.
Jose spending at United can’t be compared to Poch, it’s ridiculous to suggest they are just because it’s placed under the banner of “spending”
Jose broke the club record twice and the world record with Pogba.

Because they didn’t like the way the 3rd season was going and used their £££ to bin him off
And low and behold they had to spend even more to get less competitive so far (but their looking good since the return and may now be as good as the team that finished second if not better)

Great player, would have been even better in a pep team, but in a jose team? Not going to work, again only my opinion, but it's not a good fit.

Poch broke our club record more times didn’t he?
Maybe our aspiration was to spend big again this summer but that all got killed by COVID
I mean we out didn’t everyone this season

agree, although imagine the uproar on here with the amount of cheating he does!

Yeah it’s ok if it’s one of your own

Having recouped the money to spend that money. Jose didn’t have to balance the books.
There is a huge difference
Jose spend 300m + recouping 80m
Until the last season in which Poch was sacked mid way Poch in and out was pretty much level
That’s why Jose won two trophies to Poch none.
As suggested on here, let’s see how Jose does under the Poch model now

We have too
I’m sure he wasn’t brought in to be like that but that’s the impact that COVID is gonna have

It’s going to have that impact on everyone, so the field doesn’t change

Chris Waddle
It’s doesn’t have that impact on everyone though as not everyone is losing a key source of income
Most are subsidised clubs don’t forget

Who can only spend % of their income who are going to have that severely impacted.
We move forward the same % as our rivals this summer as everyone is impacted.

Chris Waddle
but we have lost a bugger chunk of income than others

there are a lot of clever ways to create income that isn’t real which isn’t an option for us
