We need to get promotion in the either this or next season otherwise, I think that we could go into financial meltdown

Attendances will drop like a stone if we are still in the Championship in 2 seasons time, Financial Fair Play rules will kick in, Sponsorships will decrease in value etc.....

Salaries for the new players will still be based as they are now, which will be unsustainable in the Championship

If we are (and given what has been invested it can be considered a massive failure if we're still in the Championship in one season, let alone two) then I imagine we'll just ignore Financial Fair Play rules like Boro did last season and Bournemouth did the season before that.

Does anyone else think it's extremely sad when loanees like Wilshire get the whole stretching the shirt treatment?

getting a whopping 14 million in parachute money in season 3 (a drop of 50 million compared to last season) is worrying

for two seasons we can manage

just read that Marseille made and failed with a last gasp £11m bid for Ayew. Turned down by the good Doctor as no time to land a replacement.

So SkySports jizzfest continues, over the window they have stated we have spent more than both CL finalists and would be 9th highest spenders in the PL (if we were still there). The Championship spent more than Ligue 1 in France.
Interesting huh?

Would have been madness to sell him.  He doesn't have to smile, just play well.  He has always worked hard and he could be vital for us this season.

And if we'd spent nothing the story would be about a lack of ambition and the dangers of foreign ownership and how the club is in turmoil.  There's a stick to beat us with no matter what.

Do Marseille only have 1 scout and he happens to live in Aston?
