For what season?
Last season 2020/21.
The one in which Liverpool came 4th.
Should we factor in inflation?
They took over a club with an incredibly successful squad and with a brilliant manager.
Once fergie left the signings have been a disaster, managerial appointments worse and in general they are just terrible owners.
They are far from savvy and it’s bizarre anybody that follows soccer would consider them savvy.
3rd.

There’s the link from October 2020.
Did they get a trophy for it?
So net spend isn’t important any more?

Certainly is. Liverpool were net spend and Premier League champions in 2019/20. 18/19 must have been an anomaly where City only signed Mahrez after winning the league with 19 points to spare.
They basically had a stacked squad already from their eye watering outlays in 2016/17 and 2017/18. Basically bought an entirely new team during that period.

How is net spend champions handed out?
giro’s at the dole office.
Premier League five-year net spend table: Man Utd £100m clear Here’s the most up to date net spend stats.
No, you have to choose a much shorter arbitrary time period than that.
so the year before they were champions they had an eye watering 126 million outlay? Ring a bell? and since then Liverpool have had a higher net spend than Manchester City.
Doesn’t help City’s case that players generally tend to retire there or they leave them go on frees. Aguero, Silva, Kompany, Fernandinho has been given a contract and will retire at City.
I see Liverpool are going to sell club captain Gordon Henderson to fluff their stats rather than give him a new deal.
