What's Spanish for irony? Corruption is the way of life for La Liga, they are the consummate experts in all forms - from match fixing and government funding of clubs to illegal payments and tax fraud.

'la ironía'.......not much different from the English version.

Also usable might be 'el sarcasmo'

United spent £150m on 3 players and only recouped £7.32m on one player, Janujizz.
City spent £220.9m (or "around £220m") but recouped "around £92m" on many players (couldn't be bothered to add the sales up myself to check the accuracy of that.)
Anyway, bottom line is United net spend was around £143m, City around £129m. But we know some £78m of that was in the last FY.
The other big spenders, Chelsea and Everton, recouped a lot in sales.

I assume all our add ons have been included whereas the rags haven't. In that though, where the add-ons are actually met I wonder why the media don't include them in the spending figures in later windows

The former untouchable elite are panicking and trying anything to cling to the top.

It can't help that Franco's Fascists are ripping up trees at the moment.
