I don't think his faith in the head coach will make any difference to how much we spend.Has anyone considered the possibility that Levy might want to see further evidence of Ange's ability to get the best out of the squad. That's not to say he won't back Ange, but will he go the whole hog. After our start ( 26 pts in 10 games), where we finished was a big disappointment. Ange should have solved the problems we had with conceding at set pieces, and it took him too long to resolve the absence of Udogie. Three more points and we would be in the CL. Broadly speaking he received solid support. In stark contrast Ten Hag was abused constantly but he has won two honours, and stood his ground. The first time Ange came under pressure, he virtually blew a gasket.
We have great youngsters coming through, how many were given a run. Forty points from our last 28 games might be giving Levy a reason to watch how things progress. European football will present a whole new challenge in terms of squad rotation. bring in a good striker and a CM who has the quality of Waynama or Dembele and things should improve. We don't need six players, we need a couple in key positions. How far will Levy go in backing Ange?
Agreed.I don't think his faith in the head coach will make any difference to how much we spend.
He's put a transfer committee in place and there's a general budget that they are given. I don't think it goes any further than that.
There will be some restrictions this summer & that will never change.
Unfortunately this one of the reasons why, we won’t ever consistently challenge.
Not much we can do about it, except wait for the day he finally leaves.
nothing to say whoever eventually takes over will necessarily be different, or better.
we've spent money, we've made really bad signings that were expensive.
Under our new recruitment system, we’ve made good signings the past year.
I have no doubt with larger finances, we’d get even better players, to help us push on.

i get that.
i was specifically referring to your 'wait till he leaves' comment.
But it’s catch 22…. Don’t give him the tools to succeed and as we’ve seen time and again the manager will fail, then we are back to square 1 with another manager and another system with levy not trusting them yehHas anyone considered the possibility that Levy might want to see further evidence of Ange's ability to get the best out of the squad.

We've already challenged for honours, even got to a UCL final, whilst he's here.Nothing is guaranteed, but whilst he’s here, I don’t think we’ll be challenging for honours.

To be fair, it was more that we did Dembele a favour and let him leave for a final pay day because he couldn't play at the top level anymore due to his injuries.And on the road to that final we sold Dembele mid season without replacing him.
Every big club makes bad signings that were expensive. Despite being one of the most profitable clubs in the world, we seem to be the only ones who get hamstrung by a few bad deals. Arsenal spent big money on Pepe, Aubameyang and Lacazette and then gave them away for free. They spent £50m on Gabriel Jesus and are now looking at an expensive new striker to replace him.nothing to say whoever eventually takes over will necessarily be different, or better.
