Who has scored more goals this season?

Leeds won’t be any different if they ever go up as fan base is not financially that big in comparison to sky money and ownership. If we went up this season there is no guarantee than bielsa would stick around. Leeds need selling to rich owners - the only way any club can break into the top 10 and stay there for a while

Towns net spend over same period was £80m

How much did the other relegated teams spend? Did Barfdif ever have to pay for the player who died in the plane crash?

Hughton spent a fortune on players last couple of seasons and they’ve all been rubbish - that’s why he was sacked. Gross wastage of club funds. Players he bought never played

I don't necessarily disagree, as contradictory as that may sound. I'm just clutching at straws a bit to explain why a guy who I rate highly, isn't the success I think he could be. Can't put my finger on it completely, but I do think there's a good manager there.

I think he’s a good manager and in general they are sacked too early or at the wrong times.
However you can see the boards point when £48m was spent on strikers and 35-yr old Glenn Murray continued to lead the line. Like Champers mentioned - into the European market but perhaps this is the wrong place to always shop?
Championship players Callum Wilson/Jamie vardy/josh king/ Troy deeney/Charlie Austin/ Ricky lambert have all featured in the prem leading goal scorers lists over the past 6 seasons and there are others like Ashley Barnes / Chris wood/teemu pukki/Andre gray etc who have done well at times. Perhaps Brighton’s big outlay on Maupay has recognised this?

Look at that list of players you provided. Barely any i'd heard of, or you i'd imagine? As a prem league club you get quoted inflated prices imo. No doubt based on that Brighton invested to try and get to the next level, but I just don't think as a club, and a brand, they're in the market for the players to take them to that next level. Those players cost more and want the clubs competing top half at least. I'm still clutching at straws, I think he as manager of that club has tried to unearth a few gems but it's not worked.

Maupay should be a great player from what I've seen of him ….. suspect he'll be a success for them this season.

Spot on that first paragraph mate. That's exactly the issue promoted clubs face. When you've the likes of Solanke going for 18 and Mings for 20, then you can't afford to NOT risk shopping abroad. Then you've just got to hope those players can adapt here because if they don't you can easily become the absolute mess that we are.

McBurnie - £20m ffs?!?! The worlds gone mad? Average is expensive if you’re in the prem.

Oh dear, another loss for the Dog Botherers...

On the bright side, they have now scored more than Hattrick Bamford!

4 games in a row now! These are heady days...

Back to Hattrick and Dog Botherers level on goals scored?
