Pity that money hadnt been given to Frank De Boer - Perhaps they wouldnt have lost their first 4 games.

They did spend £35m in transfer fees over the summer, admittedly though only on two players.

£40 won't even get you a ticket to a game in the PL but even £40m can only buy you 80% of a right-back.

I have always believed that our troubles in the PL date back to the interview VT did after the Charlton promotion game when he said MM would receive a £25m transfer budget.

From that moment the sharks started circling.
