But they seem to forget a big part of these 77 M were spent in his first season as Pool's manager, and it did bring success to Liverpool back then.
You know, one hot night in Istanbul...................

In his CL winning season he signed : Cisse 14 M, Xabi Alonso 10 M, Morientes 6.5 M, Luis Garcia 6 M, Josemi 2 M , Pellegrino, Jones and Nunez free.
Half of the money he spent were in his first season, and more than 1/3 of the players he brought were in his first season.
He didn't win anything in his second, while the third is on it's way.
I'd say money did bring success to Benitez so far !
