We would do it if we had the money!
Don't kid yourself.
Of course we would and we would have "Bought the title" should we win it. My opinion remains the same.

we have 'bought 5th place' already - so it's a start
Who was the last side to win the title without "buying it"? Leeds? The United side with all the kids in it?
Why are people taking him seriously? he is obviously on the wind up.
He's a canny operator, isn't he?
You seem to be slightly missing the point.
When Spurs were one of the richest clubs in the country it was because they were one of the most attractive and popular clubs in the country. Their ability to buy the best players depended on their being very, very good at providing entertaining, quality football. That sort of "buying the title" (which we were never that good at, actually!) is quite different from buying it with money that some mega-wealthy oil or gas thief decides to channel through some random football club.
When Manu or Arsenal won the title, though it hurts me to say it, they did it within the context of the sport. ManCity and Chelsea didn't, they simply bought it, and there's a fundamental difference there.
I don't think I'm missing the point, we seem to be getting at the same thing if anything. The last time the league was won by someone other than United, City, or Chelsea was 2002. Personally I don't see much difference between United with their £350M debt and City and Chelsea.
Infographic is wrong..... Brendan Rodgers has spent £289,050,000 in 3 years, he should be 8th.
..... Edit, no it isn't, it says TOP coaches. My bad
That is what the stadium is for, so we can buy more expensive players.We would do it if we had the money!
Don't kid yourself.
Spot on and until other managers learn to ignore him, he'll carry on doing it.The king of trolls.
