And your irrelevant point is?

According to the current league, Liverpool are the better team after their massive investment.

------
Eh? Thought Spurs invested 100m quids worth this season.

But then realised that the player that would make the biggest difference was on their books all along!

You were on about investing in the team, so that should be all monies invested or re-invested into the team.



Just a little point in the right direction for you

Also, if you're looking at that investment for the last three years, you should also put into the equation the number of points difference between 3 years ago, and now...

Eg Liverpool in 2010/2011 had 38 points, now we have 53 points.

So the Liverpool points difference is 15.

Spurs had 47 points, a difference of 3

So you could say Liverpools investment has got them a difference of +15 points, whereas Spurs has got them +3.

Alright mate?

^ so Liverpools investment around £180m equates to £1.2m per point difference, using the last three years - your own measure remember.

By the same metrics, Spurs is a whopping £66m per point!

£66m per extra point is ludicrous for Spurs.

The next Leeds!

Who ever said investment got it right, all monies spent on improving the squad is an investment, it's the right way to do it otherwise it gets counted as retained profit and you lose a percentage to the tax man.

So in investing the money over the past three years both teams are near identical. Spurs spending slightly more.

Net result over those three years is Liverpool have gained 15 points while Spurs have gained just 3.

Easy to see its Liverpool who have made their investments go further.

^ though neither club have been particularly wise in spending the bulk of those large sums of money.

Wait - haven't we established that since the formation of the Prem, Spurs have spent over half a billion on 2 league cups

If Spurs fans had brains, they'd never mention finance alongside football because they're investment and/or reinvestment has bore no fruit

It's all irrelevant. Spurs have still won nothing and will continue to win nothing for a very long time
