That's not an over reaction just the certainty that there will be a mass exodus of the best we have when the season ends without promotion.
I've said that in previous threads, (Phillips has 18 months left on contract and £18M is a good offer). All those relegated agreed to stay for a season on half salary and return to the PL - that was fair enough although Foster/McClean/Evans/Rondon/Nyom/Chadli did a runner. But the club has not kept it's side of the gentlemens agreement as little or no investment has happened. Dowling has publically said we will sell players when the time is right, so we know whats coming. e.g. any good offer and our players will be sold. Worse then that our youngsters have been shite on by old has beens coming in on loan. They will be cherry picked now and don't expect them to show any loyalty when Darren has basically told them he doesn't think they are good enough after he trained them for several years. Shocking really.
Keep Phillips buy 3 players for £10M+ each NOW and we can go up - do nothing and obscurity here we come.
People on here think I'm the devil spreading harmful gossip - I'm just trying to be honest. We go up or we go down the middle ground doesn't exist as our owner will not throw £50 million a year to keep us a top 6 championship side.
