Player Valuation: £60m
He'd screwed things up before the war started though, Summer 21 we spent £1.7m, January 22 we sold a seasoned international to replace him with two young players who we took a big punt on developing into good players. The war started February 2022.
But part of the reason we were in such a dire position now is because we had to factor in interest and all others from Stadium costs rising £250m more than initially budgetted.
His signings were short sighted. We acted as if we were already title contending signing players at their "peak", rather than sustainably growing.
FFP started becoming a factor around the time we'd wooed Ancelotti, and subsequently spend £150m to keep him happy.
He's incompetent, i think his heart was there, but actions wete atrocious and it ultimately has set us back on the pitch 10 years.
Gambled on short term success, and it backfired. The legacy is two parts, the nearly sending us under and the stadium.
Should we buck our trajectory; people will forget the on the pitch stuff. People can't forget the stadium though
