Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach
I have to wonder if this is even enough. I have long, long supported Levy, but the time is drawing near if we want to push on. Great managers, sadly, only go to places where there is cash. Yes, we spent 100 mill, etc, etc, but this was not an investment, merely a reinvestment of incoming money from sales. Now, had we done the impossible, kept Bale and still taken the 60 million loan from Lewis, THAT would've been interesting…but we didn't. Instead, we spent somewhere in the region of what, 6 million when all's said and done books-wise? You don't get top 4 with that. Just like buying your house when prices are low and watching it's value rise, when you sell, you will most likely have to move out of the area to one you can afford. That's what we end up doing time and time again. It has to stop.
Sorry to break the news to you, but even with the new stadium we'll still be the 5th (or maybe 6th) richest club in the country. That won't make the difference.
Even if we put a 100K stadium in, we'd still only have less than a thousandth of the available income of Chelsea and City. We still need a manager they will make us better than the sum of our parts.
