I have a hunch since about 2007, coinciding with your current run of three straight titles, you've been bigger spenders than them. I haven't run the figures, but you've had some pretty big purchases. Mind you I don't think there is, nor have I ever suggested, that it's somehow "wrong" or illegitimate for a club to spend money, so more power to you. But yes if you count all of Abramovichs time, clearly they've outspent you.

I have a hunch since about 2007, coinciding with your current run of three straight titles, you've been bigger spenders than them. These things are best not done on 'hunches'. Hard facts are necessary. They will tell you that Chelsea have *far* outspent United. ..

GBU's hunch is absolutely spot on - Utd have spent far more than Chelsea. Since 2007, Chelsea have spent £94m, Utd have spent over £105m just on the likes of Berbatov, Nani, Hargreaves, Anderson, the Silva brothers, Valencia and Obertan. That isn't taking into account how much they spent on Manucho, Kuszczak (sp?), Samlling, Diouf, Tosic, Ljajic, etc.

Yeah naff, you're far more reliable. GBU's hunch is absolutely spot on - Utd have spent far more than Chelsea. Source for United and Chelsea's spending since 2007? Since 2007, Chelsea have spent �94m, Utd have spent over �105m just on the likes of Berbatov, Nani, Hargreaves, Anderson, the Silva brothers, Valencia and Obertan. That isn't taking into account how much they spent on Manucho, Kuszczak (sp?), Samlling, Diouf, Tosic, Ljajic, etc. So far I've only found figures for the entire premiership era: http://transferleague.co.uk/ |
