So with the news about Kane, it makes the next 3 weeks or so even more important, to us fans at least. But what will the board think?
On the one hand, we could say that this season has been a nightmare, it's been full of bad luck and injuries, write it off and although we won't get the champions league, the market is better in the summer.
Or, go all out now in the hope we manage to somehow scrape into the top 4 still and get that sweet, sweet CL money?
Trying to look at it rationally, it might make business sense to wait to buy for a better price in the summer, without the inevitable mid season premium. Although that would likely mean another 4 months of shit performances and results unfortunately.
It would take significant investment to get us challenging for the top 4 this season, so it wouldn't surprise me if Levy sticks and doesn't provide the investment that would be seen as a gamble.
