Personally I want Bergkamp with a new highspeed train interlink as our next manager. Not “this lad knows the 4th place deal”. I’d rather have a Dixon or Keown too if we’re going after ex players. You know they’d drill the defense to be an organised unit.
I would assume anyone with decent understanding of English grammar can notice the determiner ‘which’ placed in the sentence, which further gives explanation of the noun ‘amount’.
But I guess I shouldn’t expect that from an Englishmen.
You said he didn’t spend any amount, that implies he spent nothing. You should have said he didn’t spend a lot, or spent relatively little. But you chose to say he didn’t spend anything, because that makes him sound more impressive, when there’s no reason to make such an incredible achievement sound more impressive than it already is.
Wenger achieved the unbeaten season & the run of 49 games unbeaten with a squad that was assembled by expenditure of an amount, which wouldn’t be equivalent to 300m even after inflation.
While Managers like Guardiola, Mourinho spend that kind of money in single season.
I picked on his grammar because he tried questioning mine, it was pointing out the irony of him fucking up after trying to dig me out for my understanding of grammar, I think that’s pretty obvious. Especially as I’ve already said that.
Truth be told I was in a particularly argumentative/dickish mood (which truth be told shouldnt surprise anyone who has been on OA for some time lol) for some reason, which I’m not so much today, so I’ll leave it there.
