Its exemplifies why Vokes is another example of lessons not learned
Leicester have spent about 15% more and WHU 25% more - fair enough But they have brought in >200% more in income.
Why? Well they (a) don't buy nearly the same volume of shit, (b) they coach them so they don't turn to shit, c) they buy players who are not at the top of their value with decline imminent and low sell on value.
(Think the turnover of players looks a bit mad - Love Inter Milans turn over of players - 548 in in 10yrs = 55 per season?!... Animals - not much pizza munching going on there on deadline day.)

Also a bit misleading as Bournemouth , Leicester , Palace and West Ham all spent less time in the premier league in that time , the real underlying story
1 We have been atrociously bad at managing over investment over a sustained period . 2 We have not held anyone accountable except a series of managers 3 We tried to change tack strategically around 2016 and others went past us by the investment they made and the way they did it .
Seeing Bournemouth rip Chelsea apart last night is very very hard to take but they have manager and ceo and board in perfect harmony , clear recruitment strategy and appetite and ambition and the ability to execute it
I’d be taking down the pictures on the end of the stands in the summer and putting this up for all to see from the A500 spotlight and all , a epitaph to the catastrophic incompetence of the executive masngmemt tesm , so the owners and board can see it every day so there can be no hiding from the catsptrpfhic performance of those paid to execute our investment stratetrgy

Jesus! Look at the teams above us, All World elite clubs! (exept Arsenal obvs)
So why didn't we win a Europen trophy, Sevilla won 3 in the period I can't even see them on the list. Look what teams like Porto do! Coaching, scouting youngsters is the way. It just shows Prem clubs piss it all away on wages for average players
Either way take all take a screen shot we may not be rubbing shoulders with that lot for a while.

and some people still criticise our board for not spending enough ! People criticise the recruitment strategy and its mismanagement, not the level of investment

People criticise the recruitment strategy and its mismanagement, not the level of investment That is not strictly true, while the strategy and management do get routinely slated on many occasions the perceived lack of ''net spend'' has been heavily criticised.

.... the point is we buy ageing players at high cost on inflated contracts with no resale value at all (lucky if we can offload them.) Hopefully with NJ a “new broom sweeps clean and we sort out the Pizza Boys

This might cheer people up after a long day of transfer dealings, it may explain why we will probably have to get used to lowering our expectations and also how has the club got itself into this mess, and who is responsible ?

Shocking. Net spend of 250 million, which is an average investment of 25 million/year for an ROI of sweet FA (no pun intended). No way should this CEO still be in a job at Stoke. The only way the Coates family can view this in a positive light is it’s probably all coming out of their advertising budget.
