Do we actually know that is the case though for sure buddy? A lot of this is guesswork.Mason is not the right person for the job right now. Regardless of how you put it or state he has spent big before it is a cheap option for Levy.
He wouldn't pay the release fee for Slot who was apparently the number 1 choice so what would you say that is?
But if so then yea in that case I would agree with you that Levy is cheaping out if we know for sure that Slot would’ve come and was attainable for a 15/20 mil fee, same for Naglesmann and Amorim etc.
What I was saying is that Levy has typically spend big on Manager wages for Jose and Conte but yes in terms of buying managers out of contracts, aside from Redknapp and possibly Juande Ramos? He’s rarely done that or spent big on it and that is a huge failing in his part and it’s probably meant we’ve missed out on some very good managerial targets.
It’s just difficult because none of us really know with absolute confidence all of this facts behind the scene, did Slot actually turn us down, same for Naglesmann for example, we’re we willing to pay the fees but it was a disagreement on control or transfer budgets or vision that was the issue etc, we don’t know
But I totally see your point mate
