With statements like this I guess you'll have to point out how you got to 'in excess of 12m on transfer fees' then, because thats clearly bollocks.
Kev's statement reads to me that Gus has spent this much since his arrival and I have to admit I am struggling to find that figure.
I would say that since we have been in the Championship Gus has spent half that figure at least, on CMS, Buckley, Hoskins, Ulloa and Dobbie.
This is without knowing how much he spent on Harley and LuaLua.
Add to this the signing on fees that he would have been paid out for Vicente, Crofts, Orlandi, Lopez, Bruno and Kuszczak. The fee's involved in bringing Bridge, Hammond and Upson to the Amex and at least four loan deals the previous season, on top of this. Then Gus really has had huge financial support in the Championship when you compare it to Palace and Watford.
Assuming Kev is talking about since Gus has been here, then you must add the signing of Noone, Barnes and Greer, But I am still struggling to reach 12 mill.
But I say again in my opinion he has had huge financial support with what else the club has had to be pay out for during that time. TB has really backed the selfish tw*t to the hilt, if that is the point Kev is trying to get over.
