Yeah but he’s saying he’d “rather” we did that. Which I dont believe for a second.
I read it as he'd rather keep the core together and then add to it next season rather than sell Emi/JJ/Ollie or whoever to bring in the cash to sign other players. Rather than he'd just prefer we don't do anything full stop.
Every single club has improved or strengthened their squad this summer…..except Fulham. We seem to have been the only club affected by the ‘rules’ that prevent us signing anyone, who can improve us.The big 6 have spent money like water, including Chelsea, yet we are left with owners who have bulging wallets but are not permitted to spend any of it.We seem to be paying the price for the gambles we made over the last few years of breaking the rules. It’s now come back to bite us.Had we got that point at Man U on the last day, we would be having a very different conversation.

We’ve behind the current financial elite since we missed our chance in 92. And certainly more so once Chelsea and Man City found their pots of gold. We’ve been missing opportunities and playing catch up ever since.
The referee didn't lose that game for us. It was an Aston Villa original production.
