Just out of interest what is misleading about the clubs claim that Oscar had a slightly increased budget over the one Gus had ? ( and I don't necessarily accept that the club were telling the truth anyway ).
Personally I don't think the problem is the amount of finance - just how it is spent and who spends it. I've never liked the Head Coach and Director of Football setup - we need to go back to a good old Manager setup. TB gives that manager a pot of money and he ( or maybe even she ? ) spends it...
