They're making the classic mistake of spending shed loads of cash on big names to try to get back into the CL at the first attempt. Unfortunately they can afford it for now but if they fail next season and again the season after they will run into trouble, financially.
The Leeds 2001 model, and to lesser extent the LFC 2011 model. That didn't work either.
They refuse to recognise that once you're out of the top 4, change is inevitable, painful, and painstaking. We've undergone coach changes, board changes, player changes, owner changes, thrown money at it, put up with disappointments and embarrassments of various forms in the past 4 years, and now we're finally back in it. But it's not easy, there's no quick fix, and there's much more to it than simply blowing millions on players. If it's not spent wisely, you're only wasting your time.
