TBH I don't really think the focus is about giving more funds.I wonder if Lewis would at any point think about this. At some point one has to assume as a business model we can be improved upon and Levy isn't the man to do it any longer. Then again I guess unless Lewis is willing to put more funds into the club then is the point moot as whoever is in charge would have to work with the same remit.
We have a high turnover and have successfully got into the top 4 by spending within our limits.
In the last 3 seasons we stopped the conveyor belt of young talent and it has destroyed us. Rose, Walker, Alli Eriksen and many more were bought young and integrated into the squad.
Once that stopped we had to rely on experienced players to come in and perform immediately. We just don't have a functioning squad anymore.
That isn't through lack of funds, this tactic made us money, our board just took their eye off the ball and stopped buying.
