Manchester United and Tottenham Kwadraaten on Sunday with both teams striking examples of how money does not guarantee success – after they have spent more than £ 1.3 billion net in the last six years.
Over the years, this collision has been a top-four confrontation with both teams closer to the top than the bottom. This year it is hardly even a collision in the middle of the table with the victory of Tottenham that lifts them in 12th place, while the Red Devils in the 15th away.
Both are ready to deliver their worst seasons in years, even decades, and it seems inscrutable considering the money they have spent. The hierarchy of United, both before and after Ineos came on board, has spent reckless and without direction.
Tottenham has since continued to invest, but without ever landing the star quality that the team would actually transform. The constant change of managers has also led to numerous philosophies and strategies being implemented, leading to a non -relevant team of players.
United States, since 2019 United has spent a net amount of £ 810 million. The most in the Premier League. Not far behind in the third are the North Londers, who spent £ 576 million. For all that money, Tottenham has exactly nothing to show for it, because their trophy droughts.
In the meantime, United can boast a Carabao Cup and a FA Cup, but a further look will tell you those successes that have been treated for some terrible Premier League campaigns.
The Manchester outfit has spent more than a billion since 2019. During that period, several managers took over the helm and includes some of their worst recruitment decisions. Antony was signed more than £ 80 million and has difficulty delivering.
Jadon Sancho was a £ 72 million conquest, but will leave for Chelsea this summer, which is very impressed. They made Harry Maguire the most expensive center of center in the world, while Erik ten Hag spent a combined £ 140 million to sign Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund in successive summers.
Gary Neville previously declared Old Trafford a “cemetery” for players with so many of their big name signs that did not deliver, while others have moved for enormous losses.
The transfer record of Tottenham is by no means more impressive because anger is still aimed at chairman Daniel Levy. There were calls for investments when Mauricio Pochettino had an exciting young team, but she has passed on that opportunity window since then.
In an attempt to return to those levels, such as Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, the club spent hefty amounts. Fans will also look back on the club record costs that have been received for Harry Kane and wonder how things were again so badly invested.
Signs such as James Maddison and Micky van de Ven can prove smart decisions, but there is far too little to be placed there. Richarlison is one of the most expensive catches and costs more than £ 60 million, but is by no means a guaranteed starter.
The arrivals of Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso belong to those who are flattered to mislead. The lack of team depth of Ange Postecoglou is currently at the front and the lack of quality outside the starting XI is clear because they deal with a large latter list.
