You may say FSG hired KK as temp manager partly to try to endear fans. At the time when they finally turned him full time, based on what they saw, can you blame them? Only now people with hint sight says that was a wrong call.
So net spending should be ignored? Do you buy stocks based on gross revenue or do you also consider net profit?
Again my point is not to defend KK. He should have spent the money better. Period. That's the main reason why he's fired. However, we didn't just ship out close to 80M worth of junk.
KK did not get unprecedented financial backing from FSG. And I'm guessing that is probably what the new manager will get -- about 30M net. net spend utter nonsense the club paid out over 100 million on players , you talk about 30 million well carroll alone was 35 million is that some sort of blag figure ? No according to some people we sold Torres for 50 million so Newcastle gave us Carroll and 15 million too, did'nt you know, net spent and all that.

We sold Torres, regardless of what we got in return. The team was minus Torres. Many fans still can't help but wonder how things would've turned out with a fit Torres leading the attack with Suarez.
And, in case you still haven't noticed, I'm agreeing KK did not spend the fund wisely.

Or in simple and more pleasing terms, Newcastle fleeced us, but we fleeced Chelsea AND had their kecks right down too.

If we are only judged on gross spend then you can't compare our team to last years. How can we be £110m better than the season before when we lost Torres, Masc and meireles before we spent anything? Sure a player is judged on how much you pay for him, but a squads strength should be based on a net figure when comparing it to an earlier season

No matter which way you choose to tart it up, the cost of kenny's signings came to £115m. If you want to discuss his player sales then that's a different topic.

As I said you judge a player on gross, judge a team on net. If you buy a £20m player every season but lose one worth £40m your not going to improve are you?

And, in case you still haven't noticed, I'm agreeing KK did not spend the fund wisely. We should have refused to sell. Redknapp didn't budge when modric rquested a transfer. He went on to have a blinding season and is very unlucky not to paying CL football after finishing 4th. Dalglish could have stood firm but decided he wanted the money to buy andy carroll, of all people. Result=8th pLace and a P45.

So let me get this straight, if we want to talk about players sold, that's a different topic? You want to only talk about net value of players bought? Well guess what, that should belong to a different topic too. In this thread I want to discuss logically about net spend.
