We don't know how he'd spend 80 mill because he won't get that much! We won't know how he spend any of the funds he gets until he actually spends it.
the success of any manager should not be on what he spends but more what he gets out of the players we have, apart from the first 4ths of Dalglish we have never got enough out of the players we already have. No doubt our squad is decent but when was the last time we did a 'Newcastle' or a 'Swansea' and over achieved. Jees even UTD nearly won the league with a very average side. Thats what will defeine the next 3 seasons.
each year somebody raises the bar for themselves - Lucas 2010/11, Skrtel 2011/12 but we need 3/4 at least to do this whilst others maintain a high level of consistency.
