Oh, we have spent! How we have spent! Rodwell 10m+, Fletcher 14m(?), Alvares 9m(?), Adam Johnson 12m(?), Borini 10m, Giaccherini 7m,and numerous others such as Mavrais, Bridcutt, Buckley, Ba, Karlsson, Altidore, Van Aanholt, Coates, and MANY more. However the spending has been little more than ‘giving money away’.
At the same time, we let Colback’s, Bardsley’s and Gardner’s contracts run dowm and they departed for free. Transfer dealings in this club in recent years borders on the criminal. In any other industry the persons responsible would be sacked at the very least or prosecuted at the worst.
To illustrate, in 2013 we sold Frazier Campbell for 1/2m and bought Danny Graham for 5m. Swansea hieracrchy couldn’t believe their luck. 5m for a player who has never been and never will be a premiership striker! The incompetence of those runningoure club is almost beyond belief.
Yes we have great fans and big gates, but the club unfortunately is run by incompetents and we bleed money.
I despair! I’m begining to think that it would be best if we are relegation so that we can hopefully ‘start again’ with new owners, new management, a new team manager/coach and a professional approach.
