Accounts show more than.
At some stage we all have to deal with facts
Just for the record, not only have we spent that amount, but we're also the 2nd highest spenders in this division, this year, top 6 in the last 2 years, top 6 in the last 3 years, top 6 by market value & top 6 by purchase value.
Under every single financial metric we are a top 6 club, in this division & if promotion was decided on spending alone we'd be guaranteed play offs this season.
The only teams in this division who have now out spent us have had access to premiership money & quite obviously we won't ever be able to match such figures without access to premiership money ourselves.
Just to be clear I’m not disagreeing that we’ve not spent £30m plus. However on the other hand transfer fees are spread across the life of a contract in accounts so not as big a deal.
Also, accounts for this season aren’t released until December next year so you can’t say how much we’ve spent as fact given the official numbers haven’t been released and won’t be for a while.
