What a difference a month makes

To stay up and compete in the Prem, in a sustainable way, we need to spend as much on our recruitment, scouting, sports science and academy as we do on strikers. Any signings are a gamble in the Prem, at the level we are competing.

I think the solution is to retain a lot of the current squad so that we at least have some Prem/Champ depth unlike before when a lot was League some depth because of the timing of the rise.

We then invest in a number of inexpensive wild cards suggested by Nicolaus_Copernicus . If they come off then we stay up. If not we have a clear scape goat

7th is the fucking epicentre of also ran

Ok. You’re right…

Winning the premier league is the only thing that counts… everybody that finishes out of the top 1 is an also ran

The good thing from our perspective is we can more or less forget about looking out for the results of Luton and Boro now, other then as an afterthought.

They are almost irrelevant. It’s only us completely losing the plot that would make them relevant. That pressure, thanks to the last two game weeks has dissipated.

The finish line is in sight. Another 10 points and they won’t catch us anyhow and we have 7 game to do it in. We probably won’t even need all 10. They need to spend at least half their games even getting to where we are now and by that time, we’ll be long gone.

So it’s not how many are we ahead of Luton or Boro anymore. The challenge is simply how many more points to go until we have won 3 more matches and gotten a draw. Then it’s job done!

Loved reading that

Like therapy

You're just being silly now
But the point is not many clubs can afford a 100 million a season loss wherever they finish in the table
