FM 2017 touch club stature

Hi there , been playing FM since 2012 religiously and enjoying it to this day. However I only bought FM 2017 touch for my iPad so I can play it on my travels. Not as good as desktop obviously, but close enough. I am managing LFC (big fan). Currently I am on my season 9 in the job and doing well enough: 2 PL titles ,1 CL title, 1 EL title, European super cup and Club World Cup , 4 domestic cups in my 9 years with the club. Strange thing though - previous year I won PL, CL, Club World Championship and my club stature bar in confidence screen has gone from being blue (stable over half way full) to red. And it doesn't seem to be improving even though I am doing well in my next season. Anyone experienced anything like that at all ? Can't find it anywhere reported as common bug. What other ways are there to improve stature other than winning trophies , playing nice attacking football and being in a very strong position financially ? Thank you
