Nah, I wouldn't go that far. But he clearly won't ever put the club in financial peril for the sake of short term success (again, look at Dein's interview where he's candid about our finances during parts of the stadium move). But now the money is there and while he has started spending it on people like Ozil and Sanchez he should have done more last summer and it's cost us. I think he was right not to sign another Welbeck but he needed to land a big name striker and failed to. That's what has cost us, or one of the things, and while signing a top striker isn't like going down the shop for some milk, that's why he gets the big bucks.
