Nobody in the championship is spending except Fulham who have a money owner, we have brought in the players that Ismael wanted and he likes a small squad. I also think we will bring in one more and could possibly sell one.
For this division we have a strong squad and anybody who throws we have no back up in case of injuries, well what about the other 23 teams we have a stronger back up than most of these and a better wage structure.
I am like the rest of you and dislike the owner but saying that every penny that comes into the club goes into his pocket is wrong.
Nobody ever said every penny coming in goes into the owners pocket. I believe we have £50 million surplus. We do need circa £70 million to run the club for a season in the championship. That is covered by our parachute money, sponsorship, gate, STH, gate, advertising, etc.
Back to the question where is that £50 million and why is Val saying players have to leave before we bring any in.
We need to be realistic and recognise we have to get promoted, this season or next. We don't need to blow £50 million on players. £15 million on 3 good players could be the difference between promotion or mid table. If anyone thinks that is not reasonable
It's time to give up on football.
Another reality check we need to be clear on, without parachute money we will have sell to survive and then the wilderness awaits.
The way we are behaving ATM we are reassembling an asset stripping exercise.
2020 the year the bubble burst
