Considering we were bought by a self made billionaire I'd say he doesn't make a bad desision that often. As I business man I bet he is wishing he'd never bothered! Although I guess he has some affiliation the the club and isn't keen on self financing us. He can only employ people in an industry he is not familiar with and trust them on their word and has made mistakes, I don't need to go through them all.
The only evidence I have on our budget being competitive in this league is listening to it come from our manager an hour ago.
And as I said, the proof will be in the pudding. But it's now August, we have our first match on Friday and we've barely invested a penny into the squad despite taking in a record outgoing transfer fee for our club. Based on that and recent transfer windows I'm far from optimistic that there will be anything like the money invested to be considered 'competitive'.
