Thought i'd do a quick round up of their actual signings so we can keep track of what they've managed without the reliance on the academy to balance the books (apologies for the laughably long list:

To summarise, on the players these directors have bought, they have managed to make a 55.81M loss on these players. On the players they have stockpiled, if they were to be sold for their current market value, we would make a further 280.02M loss. A record sale transfer window is to be expected when you hoard so much talent, its not so impressive when you look at the details of their details. Without the sale of academy stars and Roman era players, the club would have nothing to fall back on.
For reference, we have sold 302.02M worth of players (pure profit) from Cobham since the takeover. Almost as much as we have sold their actual failed signings for. The rest of the sales of 252.96M were from Roman's CL winning team. Cobham's talent is drying up and the CL squad is gone.

We have also spent by far the most on agent fees for consecutive years, and failed with the most basic commercial deals such as a FOS sponsor since the take over.
Impressive business model!
