Net spend is irrelevant. Gross spend is indicative of the players you purchased. If they are offset by deadwood, or players that other teams might be foolish enough to part with their cash over, than so be it. In fact, low spend is not always a bad thing either.

Nothing brings out the latent bigotry quite like a foreign manager replacing an English one at an English club. Especially someone with the reputation of Frank Lampard.

"Latent bigotry"?

Or maybe just someone sticking up for his nephew?

Anyhow, it remains to be seen how well TT does at the Bridge. He could turn out to be another Mourinho/Ancelotti/Conti.

Or he could be another AVB/Grant/Scolari.

Or with his record to date, he might even be another Sarri i.e. come in, do a good job, then take the hump with something and bugger off again.

Harks back to Paul Merson and Phil Thompson frothing at the mouth when Marco Silva got the Hull job at the expense of an Englishman.

Of course they have no problem with virtually every EPL team being bought, owned, and enriched by people from different continents.

The EPL is the highest profile league in the world precisely because of people like Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour and their investment in foreign managers and players. People like Redknapp, Merson and Thompson all benefit from this by extension, IDK why they complain so much.

If they had it their way, the EPL would still be languishing behind Serie A and La Liga.

1. Neither Merson nor Thompson is Redknapp, so unless Redknapp made similar comments about Silva, he cannot be judged by their comments;

2. Nor was it their nephew who was sacked by Hull;

3. Lampard's record is/was arguably good enough to merit more time.

But apart from that yeah, it was nothing only "pure bigotry" from 'Arry LOL

What I found bizarre watching the action from the Baggies game yesterday they put crowd noise of booing when yer man was sent off for Chelsea and when West Broms goals were going in!

Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world
