Oh dear, and Spuds just prove again that chucking money at the problem does not work, it's a lot more intricate than that.

Mate, it's 2 games. So I guess you fancy Hull for the title or a Champions League spot.

Exactly, a bit silly to say I told you so after a pair of games.

Well, Dave, don't quite get how Hull come into the equation, and Chris, I have never posted about Spuds being relegation fodder, so don't see how I could say told you so. Just saying big signings don't guarantee anything.

Chucking money doesn't work? Well, it's sure better than not having a pot to piss in! Just ask most chairmen which option they would prefer.

Corkey, there is a massive difference between chucking money like Man U, Chelsea and Spurs and spending big wisely like Citeh and Arsenal. I doubt any prem club don't have a pot to piss in.

Cmon Vid, mate. You said chucking money, not chucking money sensibly, if there is such a thing.
If a club does well after spending an exorbitant amount of cash, that club's transfer policy will be crowned as successful.
As for you saying it's a lot more intricate, well, I'm confused by that statement.

I mean "I told you so" in the context of weighing in on Spuds because they've lost 2 games.
It's madness to contemplate they will go down.
They won't, I know you haven't said it literally.
OP, relax pal, don't be getting worked up now about what any of us do or don't say.
There's no prizes or financial rewards given out on this site, it's just something to read.
Tomorrow's proverbial "chip paper".

Not expecting any prizes, Chris, just saying what I think. Spurs finishing 17th in the last two seasons even with their new expensive players, I think De Zerbi will be sacked and their season will spiral out of control.
It's just my thoughts, pal, you and others may believe differently.
That's fine.

Spuds season is a tad difficult to call. They are off to a bad start; it could go badly wrong. More likely, though, 9th or 10th finish.

Oh, they'll probably survive again by the skin of their teeth in 17th or 16th position.
Money can't fix their problems, and splashing out on expensive players when their club culture from top to bottom is all wrong, they are destined to struggle in my opinion.
That culture includes the fans, or perhaps especially their fans; they're always calling themselves out in negative ways, like, it's a Spursy way!
For me, that just invites negativity into your club, and it's very hard to get rid of.
A lot of well credited managers have been at Tottenham Hotspur in recent years, and all of them have failed. Why would De Zerbi and 300Mil suddenly change that.
Money won't fix their problems.

Not quite sure OP why you are seemingly so fixated on your Spuds agenda ..
But, under Big Ange just 3 seasons ago Spuds came 5th. A very good EPL season for them. Plus, a season later they won the UEFA Europa Cup. Hmmm.

Why are you so fixated on Ipswich?
With the size of their stadium and their infrastructure, that is only a failure.
Hmmm.
