I don’t think you can finger point FSG. They were willing to bank roll the enormous bid for Caicedo last summer which would have smashed the British record. It’s up to Edwards, Hughes, Ward etc to sort out transfers and players approaching contract years.if the fingers needs pointing it should be in their direction.
Could, should, would; but in reality they didn't shell out anything, a bit like the winter window, and this one so far.
All we've done this summer is trim the wage bill. Klopp, Thiago, and Matip off the books; that's at least a million a week freed up to sit nicely next to last years imaginary "war chest". Last years most most watched premier league club, with largest global social media following, and no doubt record revenues, all following a season without champions league football.
Its commendable that we've managed to compete with this self-sustaining model for the last 5 years, but lets not forget the fact they are actually stingebags that are just looking to milk everything they can from their investment that has already increased tenfold within the last decade.
I don't think its out of the question for a top four team to have a $50M spend a season to improve the squad, something we continually fail to do.
