Ilyas saved the club as a result of rank bad financial management. He hasn't thrown money at it to buy success, nor would I imagine he will do. As he has said before it has to get to the point of self sufficiency. Maybe if the big clubs stop spending beyond their means the little clubs might have a more level playing field to compete and achieve that self sufficiency.
They should wage cap the whole system.

You don't buy the title of anything in football for that matter, if it was the case, why have clubs like Newcastle Liverpool Leeds, Villa, Spurs nt won it, I'll admit you need the cash, but you also need the right bloke at the help, who buys the right players then blends them into a winning team, United have done it very successfully as have Chelsea, The Gunners haven't won a bean for 5 seasons, the only thing Liverpool have won of note in 20 years is the Champs League. A wage cap won't work, hasn't got a snowball in hells chance, aka Rooney £65 million or 5 years work and he could probably have got more at city
