Net spend my arse, your squad allegedly has a 'market value' of 107m, massively above anyone else in the division, including Villa. (sauce)
Maybe disappointed is the wrong word, and I'm not really talking about the fans when I say that, more the players. I think there's been some complacency there, amongst other things, meaning they have, relatively speaking, underachieved this season (IMHO etc etc).

Im happy to see hughton doing well though.

It's great fun sparky, you'll love it.
