Going for Bailey so soon after yesterday's bombshells at least shows this is not a repeat of the late Lerner years when we either didn't replace players or replaced good players with very average ones (Stephen Ireland, N'Zogbia, Gestede etc.). To me it looks like we dust ourselves down and we keep going regardless of the outcome of the other saga.

Bailey coming in shows where the owners ambitions are. He is a serious statement signing.

Can you just fly into the UK on a whim at the moment?

Billionaires can still probably do what the fuck they like.

It’s difficult for the owners.

Do they want to keep him? yes

Have they offered him a new contract? Yes

Can they influence him to stay? Yes and no

The big elephant in the room that ties their hands is FFP. It’s a major restriction in their ability to flex wage structures within our income and still have money for transfers.

I’ve said it enough times on here until we start to seriously flex muscles and improve our commercial income from shirt manufacturer and sponsor and other commercial avenues we will always be an also ran.

In addition player trading is another avenue to improve income and get round FFP. If Grealish does go the biggest test will be how well that money is reinvested and used to further enhance squad values and transfer fees and give the owners and mgmt teammmore flexibility to improve the squad.

No. You still need an aircraft to do that.

Surely FFP has been relaxed for the Covid affected period. We are spending on now and the future on excellent players with outstanding potential. If we have another good season and break into European competition then even with a reintroduction of whatever FFP eventually looks like we should be in a great position commercially to really push on.

What better way to maximise this than to have one of the most marketable players in Europe?

If only our owners could use a fake shirt sponsorship deal to artificially inflate our income?

I’m still puzzled why we haven’t done this. Fortress or Oracom I don’t care.

Maybe one of them could send a nephew or someone to the club shop to buy £100m worth of shirts and those rubbers that go on the end of pencils. Job done.
