Not sure its a FACT but I would imagine that whilst JB will want to improve the squad he will also want it slightly smaller so easier to work with.
I would agree with your opinion if we were say 6-10th ish but with us being 2nd and a slight gap opening up I would hope that they see that any investment is a lower risk as the opportunity for promotion is higher. The run of games and league position should also make conversations with players or clubs for loans easier.
That’s what JB has been told, budgets too are off limits for questions apparently.
