Wow...get excited much. Learn to read before criticising others. I have repeatedly stated i agree with you when reffering to winning titles on a continuous basis, however that fact slipped you. I also stated we have been amongst the top spenders for the past 20 years and being in the top 4 spenders would suggest that is the case.
You you stated 2nd or 3rd, and used that as a basis to say I was incorrect. However the data clearly shows that it is you who is incorrect. No worming out of that one. Maybe you should learn to read and read your own posts thoroughly?
I never suggested you modified any of the data i purely suggested i don't find the telegraph to be a respectable source for such data. Also you are well aware that if we were in the top 3 spenders for those years it would significantly affect our average position, spending wise.
What about FFP published reports, and the statistical analysis provided by sport economists I also gave you? No ignore that, "to suit your agenda". In addition, once again you foolishly claimed something without checking, we weren't top 3 for every single one of those years, and whilst that brings the average slightly up, we are still not top 3 on average. But more importantly you said the best part of 20 years, clearly the results above are more than enough to prove that isn't true. So the omitted results do not help you in the slightest with the comments YOU made previously. As well as the fact that going back to 1994 or '20 years' ago was ridiculous for you to do in the first place as those years would have little relevance to the face of modern football.
You can carry on with your insults, fact remains though, i never claimed anything other than the fact that we have been amongst the top spenders in the past 20 years and and even being 5th amongst 20 pl clubs puts us in the top 25%.
If you're insulted that's on you not me, you lowered the tone with "learn to read" and rolled in here claiming I was incorrect when the evidence actually shows you to be factually incorrect.
And yes you claimed that we were 2nd or 3rd top spenders for the ebst part of 20 years. That is what you claimed and used to suggest I was "making stuff up". But it is you who made that up and I've provided the irrefutable evidence that shows what I said was FACTUALLY correct and it was you who was wrong. Again you're worming around and it does you no favours, as you say you should "learn to read" your own posts before you back track. There's not getting out of it the evidence is there in your own hand.
