I never saw anything about working under restraints to be fair, all I saw was that he and his back room team were demanding silly wages. Quite the opposite, reliable journalists seem to be saying we are about to splash the cash this window.
I don’t think Bielsa would have been the right appointment at all in fairness, so can understand why we were reluctant to break the bank for him and his team. What I cannot understand whatsoever, is how can you go from trying to recruit someone of that pedigree and then just end up with the (totally inexperienced) caretaker? Gary did a decent job but it is very evident that he is learning in the job, in the most brutal league in the world it seems crazy to entrust a 120m pound investment on somebody who is ‘learning as he goes.’ Nobody can convince me that there weren’t better options out there that we could have pursued. It makes me wonder whether the takeover has been denied by the PL, why else would a new billionaire investor go down this incredibly risky route?
