I thought this must be wrong, but 2 minutes on Wikipedia shows you're right!!!
Plus another £10m from last summer (at least) which means their transfers for the last 12 months are North of £30m, to say nothing of the huge wage bill we know they have. Granted, they will have the £25m from the arseholes at Arsenal for biscuit hips to offset this but you can't say that any of their recruits have enhanced their resale value. They really only have Edouard who would fetch a substantial fee for them to re-invest and his value will be plummeting as long as he's out of action and continues to look disinterested.
I can't see TLB leaving voluntarily before New Year nor can I see them punting him. If there is a change then it'll likely be in early Jan and would be as a result of them trailing us in the league, which would make the managers position a poisoned chalice for anyone who may have been minded to accept it in other circumstances. No serious heavyweight option would want their first act as their manager to be to surrender the title and their fabled "Ten" to us.
Hopefully they're forced to stick with what they have and we inflict "death by a thousand cuts" on them, just constantly staying in front and gradually extending our lead over them. Gradually sucking all the joy and excitement out of the season for them would be the icing on the cake for us building our own excitement in the run up to 55.
Bringing in Wibble as caretaker would be the cherry on the icing on the cake though!
