I'm just amazed you keep saying the thing about it only being about money when, for the third time, Man Ure and Chelsea, as well as others have showed just spending money isn't the answer unless it's used right and you have someone who can get the team to win

And for the final time, I agree with you that money alone won’t win you things. But a) That maxim is far more true today than fifteen-twenty years ago given that spending a large amount of money on a player is a bigger risk today because there’s less guarantee that player will be decent, because of the inflated transfer market and b) Even if that is not the case, having a reasonable transfer policy doesn’t translate into the managerial hire and fire policy being good

And C you have to be able to spend loads of money for that to work anyway because of the cost of paying out a manager for the rest of their contract when you sack them in addition to hiring their replacement (especially if they are contracted to another club)

Chelsea were spending loads of money at a time when it was a much bigger guarantor of success, because they were able to purchase the finished article, unlike now where in the main the same crazy spending buys them a prospect.

So once again I’m going to say to you, in my view Chelsea’s intermittent trophy success was far more about the money they spent than the way the club was run. Frankly I’m amazed that this seems controversial to you. But as I keep saying you don’t have to agree. But acting like I’ve taken a shit on the pavement for saying so, says more about you
