Sorry but again the second part of that is nonsense. Yes the finances aren't in doubt, but Zagreb (or more accurately their money men) ensure that most of the money doesn't go back into the playing side of the club. They've also never qualified from a CL group in 30 years and have never made one let alone two europa finals. Their greatest achievement is the quarter finals of the Europa. So to say that we don't get to the levels that they do is nonsense I'm afraid.Zagreb, like so many others, bring in more than they spend every year. We spend more than we bring in every year (except this one) and don’t get to the levels those teams do. Recruitment needs to be better.
Not intended as a dig at you @brain but I can't help laugh at the amount of people latching onto Zagreb’s result as if it's the norm for them. There's a reason the Chelsea manager was bagged less than 24 hours after losing to them.
