Only way we can spend 200m+ is by making profit on younger, smarter buys. We could easily make profit from Torreira and Guendouzi, give it another year and they might fetch even bigger money, it’s how we have to go.
And yes I would still suggest Emery hasn’t done good enough, he had two chances to get us in the CL and we f***ked both in embarrassing fashion. Already gave you an example of good coaching and lack of spending still doing well (spurs), good coaching and smart buys leading to success (Liverpool), hard work and good management winning the PL taking advantage of others in a mess (Leicester) which all happened under Kroenke’s time here so why do we need to have a sugar daddy? seems you just want us to be Man City but you’ll join in when we claim they’re just buying trophies and it means nothing.
Then you’ve got the other side of it with Man Utd who have spunked hundreds of millions and even had a former world class manager, got them nowhere. Their desperation for immediate success has landed them back in 6th with their best player f***ing off back to Juventus. Difference is they can afford to make these mistakes and get away with it, if we follow suit we could end up absolutely f***ked of it doesn’t work out.
Tbh you just seem very riled up about it all and I’m not sure why, we’re not going to get immediate success with or without Kroenke...it just doesn’t work like that in one summer. Even Liverpool did it over multiple seasons with mane, salah, vvd and alisson. You’ll reply to this with something about giving emery time like Klopp had, which is fine, he can have time but I’m stil sure he won’t get us anywhere near back to back CL finals.
How did they get there?
By their owners pumping in wong to buy Carroll, suarez and miereles in 2011, which eventually led to them selling carrol 15m and suarez 75m.
They struck gold with suarez and his resulting sale funds along with players like sterling being sold for 50m as a youth product gave them the boost that they needed to get the squad they have now.
They wasted a shit load of investment but kept building with additional funds until their sales allowed them to not have to put in additional funds.
It's the start of their whole journey that people always seem to omit when praising liverpool and klopp because they're too focused on klopp and manager level.

KRONKE COULD PUMP IN MONEY THAT HES ALLOWED TO UNDER THE RULES AND LIKE 90% OF EVERYONE ELSE DOES BUT HE CHOOSES NOT TO. HENCE WHY HE IS A f***ing BIG HURDLE TO OUR SUCCESS.
Man u buy names for whatever guy is in charge that season, which is what will happen every time we sack managers who dont get immediate results with certain players in the club.
Spurs have taken a decade to get where they are and some of those players are starting to hit the end. Others like kane will start suffering more from injuries because they get overplayed constantly.
Where are Leicester now?
What have spurs won and are you willing to wait 5-10 years to be semi relevant again like they have?
How do you expect to emulate liverpool when you dont expect kronke to provide the same initial additional cash injection that FSG provided to start the whole process?
All roads lead to kronke, you lot probably need another 2/3 years of new managers and 40m budgets and big player sales to realise it.
