I've been exchanging a few emails with the people who decide what Rafa has to spend.
These new friends of ours have made it very, very clear to me that they will not block ANY signings that the manager wants to happen this summer. If he wants to spend £100m this summer he can BUT "someone has to be accountable for such spending".
In other words he will be backed but the manager has to show some responsibility also. If he blows a fortune this summer and there is no return and/or those signings fail, he can forget getting such freedom again.
It is up to the CEO (Parry) and the boss to ensure sensible spending at all times.
Rafa is sensible so I think we're lucky on that front. He won't go out and blow money like a rookie manager. He wants to see the very best youngsters at the club rather than overpaid stars. It's about getting the right balance.
Hicks said to me in Dallas that although the manager "may want one or two of those players (proven stars), the key to real success is the academy, the young players".
I responded to that by saying yes that's true providing we don't continue to sign the stars of tomorrow. Basically I was trying to say we also need to sign young players that can play now and not just in a few years time.
Hicks said Rafa wants to sign young players like the ones linked to us but when they are 16, before their full potential has been discovered by their clubs.
Anyway, a lot of people keep talking about figures etc for spending this summer. I just wanted to point out that the money is there for whoever the manager wants but whether he'll spend it like you and I would we'll have to wait and see.
