It's very similar to what Klopp's methods are, which delivered trophies for Liverpool. No football club would be sustainable if you don't buy players and we're the first ever club in the history of football since the transfer window was invented to not buy anyone.
Like i said, maybe Levy knows something the rest of every major European country's football world doesn't. Paul Mitchell, former Director at Spurs (now Leipzig):
“My philosophy is that you need, year on year, new voices, new profiles, just to stimulate the group. Just to keep the group competitive. Keep the group’s daily training at its maximum — that competitive stimulation that all great teams have. It doesn’t have to be a whole wave of new players. Two to three to four players every window, of the highest quality, that can try to break into that starting 11. It’s crucial to continue being competitive at the very, very top echelons of the game.”
That is why Mitchell is determined to keep Leipzig refreshed every year. “Any team, irrespective of natural age, needs refreshing and succession planning,” he says. “Just to instigate the competitive element within the squad. Even ourselves last year, we had a phenomenal season under Ralf Rangnick, third in the Bundesliga, cup final against Bayern Munich, (but) we reinvested on players that we believed could actively penetrate the starting 11.”
This will never happen under Levy. If anyone thinks this will, on what evidence have you seen under our board that believes we'll ever put competiveness on the pitch as a priority?
