If we extent it to three years, the other clubs cumulative spending will pull even further from us.
What other clubs? There are clearly three clubs we can't compete with, one at a similar level and the rest come below.
Over the last 3 years cumulative spending
City 409
United 359
Chelsea 273
Liverpool 268
Arsenal 199
Spurs and Newcastle are just below us, but if you would like to extend it another year we are below Spurs.
Cumulative spending would reflect badly on us given that we spent close to nothing last year. We are always lagging behind rivals and yet seldom make serious attempt to improve all the weaknesses in one go.
