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.
Rondon is still with us, for the time being anyway and is there anyone who would not want Gayle playing for you in this division? Chadli for all his potential, was a waste of a squad number, Nyom, only thing you could really say positive was he could play at RB. Fozzy it was sad to see him go, but I don't begrudge him that last pay day. Evans, "Who are ya". McClean, I think would have been good in this league, in this team, as would the Yac who I don't think should have been let go, the same as I think GMac had another year in him at least from the bench. But we are where we are, the only thing that worries me is our owner, not the team as such.
