Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen believes Harry Redknapp’s splash-the-cash approach to his transfer dealings at Birmingham City won’t guarantee success.
Birmingham had a net transfer spend of around £12 million this summer as Redknapp set about reshaping his squad, but they have collected just four points this season and lie 21st in the Championship.
Christiansen shelled out £16 million on his squad, but the sales of Chris Wood and Liam Bridcutt effectively balanced the books for the Yorkshire club.
Second-placed Leeds host Birmingham on Tuesday and Christiansen insists that there’s more to being successful in the transfer market than just throwing cash around.
