Re Ugarte, Sean, I assume you meant the fact that I hit back at Mikus who suggested we’d spent £180mil on players for Ten Hag with me saying that we’d actually signed players for the club rather than the manager. That’s a pretty obvious conclusion to come to. There was no recruitment team before the summer. It was John Murtough and Ten Hag. That’s about it. Since then, there’s been a shift to buying players for the club rather than for the manager. I don’t see what’s to question about that. It’s a pretty standard way of working nowadays. You don’t bring in recruitment and talent specialists and then let the manager dictate the budget. He’ll have a say but he won’t make the call. I’m not sure what the point is with this that you’re questioning.
