One thing to remember, how long will it be until all of these sugar daddies get fed up chucking money at manager after manager, player after player until they tighten their purse strings. We've seen Abramovic pull it in during recent years and Man City in a time where fees are reaching into the £100m's still only have a transfer record that's £10m more than Everton's & £18m higher than West Ham's
The owners of Everton, Wolves, Fulham, Villa etc will do what the others did. Chuck money the first couple of years, realise how hard it is to get to the next level, get tighter with their funds but also find themselves bound to long contracts when they signed shit that isn't HG to get their. If Bernard turns out to be pony who's going to sign him for the money he's on at Everton? The same goes for Seri, Mina, Richarlison etc. They acquired these players because they chucked more at them than anyone else would and the reason nobody chucked the kind of money they did at them is because other teams didn't deem them worth it. It may look good at the moment but if they don't work out and aren't as good as the big clubs globally think they are, they'll find themselves in a hole because their growth was too quick fix and not organic enough.
People slate Spurs but fuck them. If we'd have signed Ndombele for £50m and he turned out to be shit we'd have stitched ourselves up on the fee paid, on a future, realistic transfer fee and crippling wages that don't correlate the consistent pay of the squad. We were right to hold fire if we didn't find the right quality this time around and have kept the squad together to compensate for that. It's a prudent approach in a volatile, risky and potentially catastrophic market for certain teams that have rolled the dice. It really doesn't make sense taking risks when you're already a top 4 club
