We spent 18 months with no one signing.
That was record in Premier League.
Because all was, it's true, after Tottenham can say, no, no, we had money to spend in, yes.
But not the type of money to improve, to be close to win.
Or to challenge.
We were challenged.
We challenged to win.
But...
We missed this last step.
But it was difficult.
Now it's difficult to talk about that because it was really, really...
difficult difficult situation because one of the things that always what i like is if someone is offer me uh um and and project no and the possibility to coach i want to know what the reality i want to know what they expect from me i want to know what i need to do which is a the reality of the club and i think what what happened in total and that i really understand understood
what they expect from me from the beginning.
And of course it was tough, but I think I cannot complain.
Only what I wanted to tell them is to say, okay, that is the idea, that is the strategy, the philosophy or the culture that we were creating there.
But if we wanted to be competitive,
We need some time to make different decisions.
The problem is when the assessment is not coming from inside to the club and the assessment comes from outside.
And when people start to intoxicate things and say, no, you should win with this team.
You should win a title.
