For a Premier League club, our wages are no longer an issue. However, there's the rub.

ITK on the darkside reckons we're unlikely to pay anyone coming in over £20k. Sounds about right considering the lack of activity. It seems we really are shopping in the bargain basement. I bet there are a fair chunk of the championship that are prepared to pay more than that, it's no wonder we look like we're headed there.

Pay 20k and you get cheap tat.

Not true! Was talking to a Celtic fan the other day they apparently have a £20k pw cap yet still manage to qualify for the knockout stages of the CL and have some very good players.

They will be when we get relegated. They will be a Big fucking issue.

Been a really quiet day so far - needs to be a frantic finale or we can kiss farewell to the premiership .
