spending two hundred trillion and expecting 5th/6th?

Rome wasn't built in a day.

The nett spend this window was 45m

The total net spend if about 750m, after sales.

We do have a squad of 30+ new players at an average cost of 25m per player.

So its not quite as dramatic as you seem to think

But i have to concede they have made it hard for themselves

& yes we are currently & more than likely for the foreseeable future an aspiring top 6 side.
