I'm not sure spending £200m suggests Tony Bloom expected instant results. I think it suggested he wanted to deepen the squad substantially to be competitive this season and, most importantly, for years to come as we'd lost a lot of key talent too quickly.The one thing I don't understand is why we went big in the transfer market at the same time as appointing an inexperienced manager.
Either is fine in isolation. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for giving a young and unproven player or manager a chance and time to improve. But why then spend £200m, which suggests we are after instant results?
