[LNB]Asked in a TV interview with Al Jazeera why he no longer signed 'big players', he replied: 'Because we respect our budget. You look at the clubs who lose £100m or £150m and if we do that then we go bust. We pay what we can afford. [LNB]'I'm amazed that people are amazed that we do that.

But I ask a second question: where do we get the £150m in? Maybe you don't have the same answer.'
