Stoke spent big for years, just to tread water-on the flip side Fulham spent big for one season, only to come straight back down, it's about getting a balance.

Fulham made a real hash of it, but spending smart is the Wilder way, picking out gems, rough diamonds that just need the right chance in the right system with the right manager.  Put it this way, Brit Assombalonga cost more than our entire first team.

Grappler   12 #28 Posted April 28, 2019 Just seen this stat, incredible if correct!   "...Since Chris Wilder became Sheffield United manager in 2016, only Manchester City have taken more points in all four divisions (266-257)..."
