Wolves fans griping about the club losing money on players. Man United have lost about £60 million plus fees and wages on Jadon Sancho!

Try and list all the atrocities signings Man United have made over the years! Hundreds of millions lost on trash.

Still, no club will ever match the £100 million Chelsea's spent on Lukaku, or the £140 million Barcelona spent on Philippe Countinho!

It's all proportional tho lbtw, 60m to Man U isn't like the 30m+ we wasted on Fabio to our bank account as to theirs.
What I do get annoyed about is Chelsea, City, etc. getting off mis 'accounting' with fines that don't cripple them and no deductions.
Are you Oxford, by the way? Or just a Dexter fan?

Hi Abbey,

Wolves didn't lose £30 million on Fabio Silva. With loan fees and the final sale price, they barely lost any money.

Goncalo Guedes was a catastrophic signing - Wolves probably lost about £20 million.

I'm a massive Morse fan. The TV show and books.

Fair point lbto, I stand corrected. I met the man himself once at a teetotal corporate event, and got him away for a pint of real ale. Lovely chap, but he'd shy away from any Morse-related conversation.

I'm genuinely impressed. Colin Dexter was an incredibly talented writer. I can read his books over and over and never get bored. Same goes for the TV show. John Thaw was flawless as Morse.
