Can you/anyone name a side which has successfully jumped to a more expansive style without resources (money or money invested in their academy) to back it up with? The only one I can think of is Swansea but they started in league One.
So Hughton was a drab manager who played similar to Warnock but they went for Potter. So there are examples.

Our finances are our finances. I would prefer to give the money to a manager with a vision and with the intention of playing an attractive, attacking style. Giving money to Harris, if the club sees him as a stepping stone, for me is wasted money.

Again, you mention Swansea were in League 1. Does it matter where it starts as long as you're not relegated?
