And he's been saying it for 2 seasons now.
Why has nothing been done about it? No point getting the whole structure of the club in place to then entice the world's best manager then ignoring his advice on what team he needs.
It's clear the board want the CL but then don't stump up for the players of the quality required. The frustrating thing is it wouldn't need a huge number of new signings, just two or three top notch ones integrated into our already very good first team would give us a much better chance at winning the title and CL than scratching around for players below £50m. It's not like we're a low income club; those with less resources than us manage to sign £70m+ players. If that is what it takes to really improve then that's what we need to do, for the right player.
We've done well previously because we had players like Vinny, Merlin and Yaya, and Fern and Kun in their prime. Now we've lost that, squad fillers like Torres and Gundogan, Rodri, Cancelo, etc need better players around them. Haaland, Sancho, Koulibaly level players. Havertz, Thiago, Bale would all have been cracking signings. We didn't even bother. Seems like we fought UEFA for nothing. Very frustrating.
