That's my understanding of it too..He wants to retire on a high, so doesn't care what happens after this rash spending..leave that to the others. Then give an interview a year or two later, saying that if he were still at the helm they would still be winning trophies.
And that's assuming that the red-nose twat will still be there to see the club he managed go tits up..
