I swear people are so out of touch with fans now. We couldn't care less how much someone cost, we ask for a team that makes an effort, we've been a team that threw money at every issue and it got worse, we've been a team that tried to turn £2 million players into double figures and that failed too. A stable manager with a stable team that spends money reliably is far more suited.
