Poch was calling for an expensive rebuild, clearly we had reached a pivotal point, he obviously thought changing the manager was the cheaper option, that worked out well for the muppet.Countless millions on players and pay offs for coaches and we're actually worse off than we were before Poch went (save an unlikely progression to the CL final). It really isn't the willingness to spend money - it's the sheer waste of money.
In truth he’s gaining so much from his property & entertainment expansions, the football failures are and always have been the sideshow. Ideally of course he would rather spend less on the team, much like when prime poch was delivering on a shoestring whilst we waited for that great game changer But youth are no longer as cheap, at least the good one’s as he’s expensively found out, also those lastminute.com deals don’t always result in a VDV… (rarely do)
Overall ignoring the minor issue of the actual football team he’s doing great, it’s why Invisible joe is happy to keep him in a job and reward him handsomely each year. We just need to stop throwing our toys and show the same appreciation when that new hotel gets built or Beyonce plays before an NFL match, heck we can even go karting or climbing after we’ve lost 1-0 to whatever average crap played us that week and enjoy reading the financials in the evening…
