I'm not yet sure Levy's necessarily backing his manager just yet on the evidence of these two signings. If anything, Holtby may come at the expense of the one, true target AVB has and has always had - Joao Moutinho, although we could sign them both. I think Levy has always pursued a policy of signing up good young talent with a resale value that is likely to increase, independent of who the manager was. Also, old ITK indicated that Holtby was Freund and Levy's choice, Sherwood wanted Eriksen and AVB wanted Moutinho. Until we see clear evidence that we're serious about getting young Joao in, I'd say it's inconclusive whether or not Levy is fully backing his manager in the transfer market.It almost fees like the club is backing the manager.
It's a new feeling...I don't know what to do with it.
