I wonder if fans of other clubs think the same?
Lets say for arguments sake we have about a 10% chance of being promoted at the start of the season.

How much do you move the needle with an investment of £15 million?
up to 20% 30, 40, 50? theres still a big chance that you fail and then the money is wasted.
There are no guarantees, and even though the rewards for promotion are great, there are many examples of clubs spending a lot and going nowhere!

I think Tan is pragmatic - to invest now is too risky - a big chance you see no return on your investment.#
I think if we start well one season and are amongst the top few clubs at christmas then you could see more significant investment, as there's a better chance that it'll get you over the line.
