If you read the reports from the media at the time it is clear the board were prepared to spend a lot of money to support him. Unfortunately, transfers in real life are harder than in football manager. It's kinda sad that Jose fan boys like you have to lie to support Jose's failure.
If my memory serves me correctly, the media claimed we went after
Stones
Pogba
Koke
Griezman
Martial
Manolas
When Jose came to this club we had a poor central midfield, he spent a lot of money, and left us with a poor central midfield.
