Very true, but frankly I think its become even clearer that what the major clubs really need to do is install a manager with vision, support and a degree of control and influence to mold the club and the squad into what they see fit and give them leash to run with it.
Its somewhat gone full circle from the Wenger, Ferguson days to rotating managers every couple of years and then back again.
Its about getting the right people into the right position with the right support. Pep has been something of the blueprint for that. A manager with enough clout and reputation that he becomes bankable and he shapes the entire club into his vision and the results tend to follow.
