no, the point is that we had saleable assets who were

signed in the Prem, or with parachute money. Just because Farke had to get rid of them, it doesn't mean they weren't big assets, the kind of which Leeds didn't have. Maddison, Pritchard, Howson etc... So looking at a one-off transfer window net spend between two clubs - when they did not start with same level of assets is misleading.

Bielsa is just a much better manager than Farke. The difference in fortune of the clubs this season is down to that - not net spend.
