Look! Will someone help me to understand?
Jan 07 transfer window. I have £5m to spend. Chairman says he would like a high profile player and I can exceed the transfer budget if I want. So I bid £15m for a classy player, bid accepted, player accepts, "..insufficent funds.."
So I go to the Board and request more money and get told they are getting fed of my requesting more funds, despite the fact this is my first request and the Chairman told me get a high profile player.
What is a Manager supposed to do?
Buy a high profile player - Insufficient fund - no additional money.
Confused at Villa!!!
