He didn't spend much, bruce. Not in real terms. Did a very good job there.
They cut the budget further under martinez, no doubt but Bruce was sitll one of the bottom 5 spenders in the league.

What a depressing season, I don't know what to think. I can't change my stance from no to yes based on getting beat by Arsenal at the Emirates but I am becoming more and more concerned about where our next win is coming from in the league.
This season is a train wreck and has been a shambles since the day they walked back after the summer. Literally have the exact same team as last season apart from Besic/Gerry and the brand of football is polar opposite, what has happened.

That 2003-04 season was so so grim.
Who could have seen 04-05 coming after that?

I don't think that you do!
Saturday; Manchester City 0 Wigan 1 - Wigan beat Manchester City to win FA Cup
Tuesday; Arsenal 4 Wigan 1 - Wigan lost away to Arsenal and were relegated
You can't say that Wigan had no fight.
You can say that Arsenal had a bigger and better squad and the chance to rest over the weekend.
You can also say that Manchester City had an annual wage bill of £233 million and Arsenal an annual wage bill of £154 million compared to Wigan's annual wage bill of £44 million.

They didn't get relegated because they lost to Arsenal away. They got relegated because they were absolute garbage all season and their defending was a joke.

You know this isn't true.
Martinez had to reduce the Wigan wage bill by 22% at a time when other clubs were spending more and more.
Bruce spent less than a million net but 27 million gross. In total, transfers and wages, he spent 81.15 million or 40.6 million a season. They were one of the five lowest spenders in the league in both seasons and never finished in the bottom 6 in his time there.
Martinez spent 154.6 million on wages and made 11.65 million in the market (though he spent 32.1 million gross) so 142. 95 million in total or 35.8 million a season. They were the third lowest spenders in every single one of his seasons (normally they had a slightly bigger wage bill than the bottom 3 but funded it by a negative net spend).
Shut it.
