So how much did Downing, Hendo, Adam, Enrique, Coates, Suarez and Carroll cost?
come on Pops you have all people should have got this by now. Under Moores our annual net spend was roughly £17million - this is what the club has to pay out. He sold the club because he could only just afford this committment and therefore funding anew stadium would take away any transfer funds, he sold the club so a new investor could build a new stadium whilst supplying
Hicks/Gillete basically forced Rafa to only spend what was sold and then even worse he only got about 50%. Thats why we lost Alonso, Keane, Arbeloa, Benayoun and then even Mascherano was sold on the cheap to pay a bank installment.
FSG have sold good players for good fees and replaced them(this is not a player basher mail). So on a weak squad(Hicks/Gillete even Hodgson) FSG have re-placed what went recently but not what went before. So think about it 30mil to improve Hodgsons team is not a great amount of money. Consider UTD 40+ mil on a EPL champions team. QPR have spent 22mil on their team.
