They are looking for an efficient system where young players will be developed and sold on for value. The best that will be asked of a manager is to keep us 4-5 so we make some Europe money while buying 21-25 year olds and selling them at profit 2-3 years later.
This is a fool's errand and not possible in the EPL anymore. You can't get Top 4 playing kids like Wenger did 10-12 years ago. The only club that does this now is Dortmund, reliably 2nd best in a 1-team league.
