The Stevie G needs funds to avoid failure is a broken record in the media. It's crap too.
Stevie G will have a recruitment budget, and it will be a decent figure by our standards. It's how money is spent that matters. SG has always pointed out recruitment will be a team task. With himself, MA and AS all having input to reduce risk and maximise value for money. More money makes life easier, but if the pot is full, or it's half empty, planning, profiling and scouting are what will make recruitment successful. Money alone guarantees nothing.
