I don't even think the outrage is in regards to net/gross spend.
Personally, Im a actually happy with the additions we've brought in this Summer, regardless of whats gone out & come in.
The uproar within the last 24 hours hours has been in response to Carroll leaving, Rodgers stating he was "hopeful" of bringing in at least 2 new players yesterday afternoon and then ultimately the Mother of all anti-climaxes at the end of the deadline. If Carroll had still been here come this morning & BR had stated he was content with the squad, the uproar across the boards wouldn't have reached the levels it currently resides at, not by a long shot.
But the fact Brendan stated he was expecting a couple of new faces, which ultimately transpired in to nothing, gives the impression that Ayre and the owners hung him out to dry. Subsequently the pitch forks and lynching ropes have made an appearance, and one would have to be a brave man to argue they arn't justified. We needed a striker. It didn't happen, questions need answering why.
