Don't base it over the last 5 years Base it over the time Kroenke has had full control. The Usmanov power struggle is well documented and Kroenke was never going to commit fully while he was part of the pie. They are buying it whether you want to admit it or not. Now we can debate about how clean that money is but that's a different point, but the spend speaks for itself none the less.That may be so; but the difference in spending between us and them over the time they have owned Arsenal could easily have been matched by Levy and Spurs based on our income alone. It's about 20m per season over 5 years.
We could have been in their position without needing to financially dope ourselves. That’s what I really don’t get about ENIC at this point. The whole idea of the stadium was to allow us to compete without sugar daddy investors and now we have it we're doing it anyway, what’s that about.
I'm just thinking aloud there.
