Net spend has absolutely no baring on the manager.

Thank your CFO for buying low selling high, not Klopp.

What it says is - He lost a player like Coutinho whom he can't work with anymore. A player valued to a lot of money. Why was he valued like that? The answer is, because he's one of the worlds best players.
Net spend says what players you've lost (what value) and what value you have gained in players.

For example. If Manager A has lost players for a value of £100m and gained no players of value and Manager A won the league, that would be quite an achievement.
If Manager B has lost players for a value of £100m but gained players for a value of £200m and won the league, is it as big of an achievement?

Of course the manager shouldn't get praise for the prices sold or bought itself but it says something about his squad that he has to work with.
 
Do you think Emery should have bought Steven Nzonzi @Chules?

Would be an upgrade on Xhaka surely?

Meh. Coutinho transfer skews the figures too much. + getting good money for unwanted players (30m for Benteke). + Transfer fee doesn't always tell the whole story (Sanchez was technically a free, even though we lost 30m rated Miki, and he'll end up costing us 100m+).

Even if you want to put all your stock in net spend, Liverpool's was far far higher than anyone else's in the last window, so by your own logic they should be expected to improve far far more than anyone else, no?

Or does it only count when you can manipulate dates to favour Liverpool?

Poor Corbs has got himself into a another pickle.
