If Moshiri had shown a bit of ambition last summer and invested in the team they might have been swayed.
A Mike Ashley interview was shown on a Newcastle v Spurs match preview and he spoke about the funds available
to Benitez for transfers. He said that they couldn't compete with the likes of City and Chelsea - 'We don't have 40 million pound stadium naming rights' - and he can only spend money generated by the club.
'So, is he going to have a 150 million given to him tomorrow? No he isn't because we don't have it'
Peter Shmieceal (spell) said after, that it didn't matter because Ashley isn't allowed to fund transfers anyway, but that that Benitez should have much more than the 32 million he's spent this Summer.
He repeated and emphasised the point that Ashley is not allowed to supply funds for transfers. Nobody argued the
point.
If that's the case why are some of us expecting Farhad Moshiri to hand his own money to koeman and Walsh to spend?
