As I say SOS, it all depends what you want. I want ambitious owners like Chelsea and City have, not 'prudence personified' ENIC. If they don't want to spend their money, fine, then I wish they would sell up to someone who will.
We were building the squad depth under Harry - the issue was that he would use a core of 15 players, so any member of the 25 man squad not in that select group would be stuck on the bench for months on end, and if they did get their chance they would be lacking any kind of match fitness and be a lot less useful. Look at Pienaar, he's been superb at Everton since January, yet for us he rarely played so could not contribute in the slightest.
I believe Sir Fergie had a hard time at the start of his management at Old Trafford,but Man U kept buying nearly everyones top players and he could hardly go wrong,so eventually he found if he could kick a few butts with his Scottish boot he could improve their performance.Other managers weren't so lucky and had trouble with their players if they tried the same thing.Money talks!..as does the Man U wage packets.......
