We are expecting/hoping a manager can do for us, something that no other manager has ever done...for longer than 3 or 4 years, that is outperform spend. You cant look to one team, ever in the EPL era that has outperformed spend consistently and really kicked on.....yet that is the standard we are going to hold every manager we ever have to...do something that has never been done and keep doing it.


Another problem is the buy young model....I think financially we may have to do that...but that isnt to build a young team to win trophies, its to buy young players and sell them for a profit.
