Really good video he tells it how it is but toned his language down a bit.
4 real opportunity 's in my time to join the big boys and we have let all 4 slip away
1960s we had a really good team which was turning out plenty of good players ( home grown ) that alone is not enough! Investing in one or two signings to supplement what we had is where we went wrong each time and it revolves around money or lack of ìt .
This has played out each tim
e where a bit of investment would have made the difference .
We are at the cross roads again!
How much do the Americans want it ! Selling our best players in the summer will tell us a lot if that happens..Investment this summer
means the club will run at a big loss but ! Would stand the club in a position to have a crack at it ( if the playoffs are beyond us this time)
The parashoot money was wasted do they ow us one! We shall see soon enough.

You do we realise our Sky income reduces from £35 million this year to £7 million next season.
That means we MUST reduce costs by £28 million or sell players bringing in £28 million…….and that’s just to balance the books.

Failure to balance the books results in a 10 point deduction.
Owners like Chansiri refused to sell his better players…saw the club heading towards FFP sanctions so tried to raise £60 million by selling the stadium to himself…..and looked what happened to them.

If we refuse to have major sales this Summer…..then I’d be questioning the competency of the owners.
Maybe they’ll have 1 more year to stay within the £95 million per 3 rolling years lost.
So we might gamble next season but all 3 relegated teams will be big favourites.

My point is the owners can’t keep…..recklessly building up debts….there are rules in place to control their spending
And from next season…..our parachute money runs out….so we are skint…..similiar finances to clubs like Stoke and West Brom,
