If five or six really good players cost us £30 million, that's fine by me. That's about half a season's TV money for players who could last us four or five seasons. That's the sort of investment I like.

Tidy, I don't think we are a complete mess. Jeremy Peace made a questionable appointment in Pepe Mel then didn't back him or give him enough time, then he appointed proven failure Alan Irvine. But JP saw the error of his ways in time, we're still in the Premier League and I reckon we'll stay up and finish mid-table. We have made a spot-on appointment in Tony Pulis, the old coaches and the UK and Europe heads of recruitment have gone, some average-looking players will be transferred out and hopefully replaced by much better ones, and I believe we have turned a massive corner but there's still work to do. If you want to see what a complete mess looks like, have a look at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Birmingham City.
