Thinking of this thread driving past bearwood earlier I was reminded of an interview Anton gave in sports.ru (in Russian) before the take over was completed.
- Если сделка состоится, вы будете практически жить в Англии? - If the deal goes through, you'll practically live in England? Надо быть рядом с командой? It should be close to the team?
- Абсолютно не обязательно. - Absolutely not necessary. Атмосфера в клубе такая, что нет никакой надобности что-то резко менять, а тем более рушить. The atmosphere at the club so that there is no need for something to change dramatically, much less destroy. Клубом не надо управлять вручную, надо просто улучшить коммерцию. Club does not have to manage manually, you just have to improve commerce. Есть, конечно, и спортивная составляющая, но этому надо уделять внимание, а не руководить. There are, of course, and sports component, but it must be observed, but not supervise."
Think he just got a little too into it with promotion & rush and has had to concentrate on his other businesses and new family for a while tbh. I see no reason to panic until we have genuine evidence that there is no money to spend, i.e inexplicably pulling of the training ground or the academy going hugely down hill.
Perhaps that's why Daddy has told him to stay away (if that is even true), he has other responsibilities he's neglected. Just a thought.
