So if there was an issue it must surely have been around wages, I don't even want to know how much we were paying Coutinho, Ings etc. But we were also offering a huge deal to Chukwuemeka too so can't have been that concerned?If Purslow had accidentally driven us into a financial abyss you'd think he'd be in hiding rather than sitting with the away fans at games.It doesn't make sense to me however things have been going so well I am fully expecting it to happen.The bloke gave fifty grand to the Tory party. I doubt shame takes up any space in his emotional palette. Sawiris gave them £200K.

Seems like Ramsey won’t be included in the fire sale that David Ornstein said is definitely happening before the end of June or we’ll get points deducted.“I am not thinking about letting him [Jacob Ramsey] leave, even in the case some teams are offering us a lot. Right now I don't want that - I completely don't want that. I want to work with him and try and help him increase his level because I am selfish and I want him at his best for me.” UE.

Also if a “fire sale” is required begs the question what have we been doing?

It’s more a comment on how some posters were absolutely convinced that David Ornstein’s siren voice back in January was entirely credible.
Also, and I hope this doesn’t come to pass, I rate JJ and think he’s great (completely proved me wrong in my initial view on him) but if push came to shove I count 6 (off the top of my head) players I’d rather keep. That’s also considering likely value, benefit in terms of P&S as well. Hope it doesn’t come to that of course!
