Barry Sanchez

The answer there is to spend more on known quality, thats the only quick fix answer, he can scowl like a fairy and sack 103283 people a season but until he grasps that reality he aint ****.

They wont answer these sorts of questions, it upsets their agenda, the relevance is all too much.

Good for you, nice one.

The big clubs can in some way absorb losses and crap transfers, we cant, our three large signings have been well 2 have been **** and the 3rd ok in my humble and he is injured. As shown we cant absorb that until we have a quality squad and that will cost millions if we are going to do it(we are not) in Cortese 5 year plan, or has that conveniently been forgotten about?

Sorry I stopped there when after seeing Cody Cropper and his chances of going to a World Cup.........................

It is going to be 25,000? I want a snug stadium with a good atmosphere.

The illusion has been cast by Cortese that we are the highest spenders or one of them in Europe but thats crap, net spend, the others have bought and sold highly (much much higher) than us for a long long time, the clappers and newer fans believed we had arrived in the big time, threads of how good we were and champions league and how ****e the League Cup is and a waste of time were put up and lapped up. To even compete we will have to outbid Liverpool who are trying to get into the top 4, can you seriously, please look at that and really think, can you seriously ever see a player coming here before there? No and thats it, its as simple as that.

Everton have spent £63,000 in the last five years but they have had high loanee's on big wages, Pienaar, Barry and Lukaku, Spurs have spent £310,000 in the last 5 years.

No Frank you simply dont get it, to actually challenge the established view you have to acutaually do that, you simply dont get it, how are we challenging in any way? Have we shaken to establishment to its core, are they saying that as Southampton are 9th we should start copying them? What exactly are we challenging?

Net spend is not a true figure, the simple and best way is to simply see how much a team spends on players a season. http://www.transferleague.co.uk/league-tables/transfer-league-table-last-five-seasons.html

Frank thats sentimental drivel if ever I have read it, we dont know where we are going but we are having a ball? Are we? Easily pleased Frank.

Why have we only got a small squad of effective players? On Cortese plans we have this season and the next to achieve European ambitions, are we going to spend mental in the summer?

£15 Million a year is keeping up with the big boys? You think, probably £100 Million a season with wages. Thats 4/5/6 sides as well not solely 4, confident now? No and neither am I or was I ever.

No we could take the Cup competitions seriously, I could trawl through and see lots of "fans" trying to justify that last balls up after Sunderland.

Yes I love them. Enjoy the ride? What sort of crap is that? We are going through a crap patch and out comes the happy sayings to keep us all chirpy, what next mints round the back of the bus? Lets concentrate of our football, our strikes, our defense, our need to sign defenders and a striker/winger, the need for honesty from our chairman ie spend a **** load to compete with the big boys, dont leave a manager to hang out and dry as the purchases you and Reed allowed did not work out. These are all valid topics, enjoying the ride? I would rather talk and comment about it.

No I am merely asking the question of how we are are going to achieve such a stupid notion without actually competing with and outbidding the actual top 4, I hope for nothing like that as it will never happen.

Where is the interpreter?

They know more than me and you (unless you are a bookie) as they make a living from it. The results have put him there not the bookies, 1 win in 9 is simply not good enough regardless of who we play, our strikers are not scoring and we are leaking goals thats a huge cause for concern, him spinning the age old we are playing well and not getting results will not stick and I agree, if he came out with a newer but more honest of x, w and z played **** but they deserve another chance or we play crap and I fuc*ed up the tactics and I apologise to the fans I would well be on his side more and we dont see enough honesty just patting the fans on the head and telling them its going to be alright. We have not been alright (successful) since 1976, no club our size has won less than us, we should demand more.

If you dont deliver yes indeed, otherwise it appears as if you selling something comparable to snake oil.

4th favourite to get the sack and yet the clappers still dont realise it, they are absolute beauts one has to admit, deniers of the highest order.

Or make us look bells to the footballing World? http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/champions-league/news/pochettino-targets-champions-league_112410.html

Would love to be in Europe I make no bones about it, I dont believe Cortese and his bull**** so I think the Cup is the only way to get there hence my frustration at the lack of effort for the Sunderland game, a lot more than we realise I think is on this game this weekend.

Thats very optimistic and naive.

Have said this for years, some of the forum clappers believe Messi is chomping at the bit and waiting for an offer from the Don, such is his pull.
