You can't build a team for a manager without expecting him to stay out his contract. Ignoring managers wishes is one of the things which has stung us and made us undesirable. The outcome now is clear to me. They back him and he has to deliver

Spurs have not only decided to go for quality (regardless of age/price),

Haha....fingers crossed.....

the big fees don't really correlate with outcome

I think they had to back him....and on the face of it, why wouldn't you.

My hunch is the manager will be the biggest difference maker above any player we sign. But also, give him the tools he wants and we have a big chance of going places.

Then it's back over to the ownership, they're going big on fees to get RDZ targets, so how deep are their pockets and how many times are they prepared to reload going forward??

Well hopefully the model is that

- Rejig team to back manager and fix the balance (team was built for vastly different managers in past 4 years)
- Get the improvement, add more next season, go again
- At any point if it doesn't work with manager, get at least a "similar" thinking manager
- Have patience
