I said a few weeks ago, he needs to come out of the shadows now and take the helm.
The way we lure a world class manager to the club is with a man like Usmanov in charge, money talks and any world class manager wants funds. I'm not saying Mourhino but for example, if we approached him he would come if the salary was right and the transfer funds available.
In this league you can't half ass it, we've seen clubs that spend small fortunes drop down like a stone not long afterwards. You need to go in balls deep and spend big on the spine of your team.
Usmanov throwing his weight behind the stadium funding, a manager befitting this club and top players would transform our fortunes. You've seen a club like Man City transformed from a club that spent a lot of time fighting relegation season upon season now top of the pack. We can be up there competing at that level with this man.
None of the finances at this club made sense to me, not until you realised that part of the plan all along was that Usmanov would join us. Recent rumours would suggest this could be happening, and not a day too soon. First priority is getting someone the calibre of Mourhino on the phone and saying, what would it take to get you here.
