There are only a limited number of options.He's throwing the cash in as extra equity as Lerner did with some of his investment.He's loaning the cash to the club from Recon at nominal interest.He's borrowing the cash from a third party at commercial rates.As we saw, even with options 1 and 2 there'll be a pain threshold at some point, unless he's got access to Abramovich / Mansour type cash.The less said about option the better, although interest rates will never be lower than they currently are.

So with everyone fit, I reckon we're looking at: GolliniDe Laet Elphick Chester Cissokho Jedinak TshibolaAdomah McCormack Ayew KodjiaSubs: Bunn, Baker, Amavi, Bacuna, Westwood, Grealish, Gestede
Dr Tony and his team have team have done exceptionally well, but we should not forget they inherited a squad which was rotten at the core. The reconstruction required is massive. Back to the Prem in 2 years is the reasonable goal in my opinion.
