I think, ideally, the way we should tackle this question is by planning to build both team and stand together in stages and in parallel.

So say we had £50m to spend and used £20m to redevelop the North Stand and £30m to get us back challenging. Can we be sure that £30m would do that? A bit spent poorly, an injury to a key player or another money bags buy out of one of our rivlas could see us spend and stand still, which would leave us committed to the £20m on the North Stand with very little prospect of filling the extra seats.I think we need to start selling out regularly again before we commit money to increasing the capacity.
