Why wouldn't we be able to? It's quite simple, spend too freely and waste money when unnecessary, you've got nothing left in the pot for when the crunch hits. If we stopped dolling out big contracts to players based on potential and out of some paranoid, pre-emptve, protective strike as you say, we might actually have money left in the pot for players that have fulfilled their potential and at a greater risk of getting poached.
