With Levy in charge you're in a perma-state of austerity. Regardless whether you're going to build that stadium or not.
jaw-
Levy's been thinking about the stadium for a long time, and has kept an eye on the wage bill, with that in mind. The stadium when it's built will allow us, to pay higher wages, get better players in, but until it's built we can't have underperforming deadwood on big money training with the reserves (looking at you Adebayor).
I think also it's one of the reasons he got the Sheriff in, with his reputation for bringing on youth players, means he can work within a restricted transfer budget, if necessary.My dream would be that we don't lose anyone between now and the opening of the new stadium, which means we can make some top class additions to help us challenge consistently for the title (or always be in the conversation) after that

thinking we're in a slightly better position, nothing I've seen or read so far about the new stadium leads me to believe we'll be going through quite such a long period of austerity as Arsenal did.
I'm hoping the young players stay with us, we can still give them a relatively big boost in salary if they keep improving, we've tied up most of them through 2019-20, I'd be more concerned with Verts or Lloris heading for the exit if we don't keep pushing on. Also a case of Levy holding his nerve, if we regress and the league form dips next season...
