The frustrating thing for me is that we are only a couple of quality signings away from having a genuine chance of going up.  I reckon 3 or 4m pounds would do it.

But from MM's point of view, if he spends that money and we don't go up he's 4m down and back I square one.

I agree that potentially if we perform up to our capabilities we are not that far off a potential playoff push. Problem is spending that extra 3-4m plus wages and bonuses etc, will likely push us over the FFP limits. Now I know that it seems other clubs are ignoring these rules but at some point punishments will be handed down, starting with a transfer embargo, and I would rather we keep within these limits if we can. Of course a nice stay near the top of the table will help to improve attendances but it would probably take a consistent additional 3-5k fans at home games to improve the revenues enough to allow that sort of spending.
