Since when do we "desperately need money".....?

You talk like we're on the brink of bankruptcy and collecting in buckets again. Our owners aren't desperate for anything, least of all money. WE also have £15m parachute payments to eat a fair chunk of the salary hit, as will the on-going lucrative sponsorship deals we secured, not to mention there will be some players sold, and in the likes of Cesar who came on a free, for a profit so hardly as desperate as you suggest.

The main fact of this season is they will want desperately to go up immediately. The best chance of that is a bit of further investment, either from pocket or from generated revenue from transfers being re-invested in the side so we have too much for this league.

I agree with you del apart from the parachute money, 60 mil over 3 years , thats 5 players wages on 50 k a week for 2 years.

I thought it was £60m over 4 years, hence £15m reference for next season.

Either way it will help us out significantly.

I think it's 16, 16, 8 and 8 over 4 years (48) for us. Next years relegated get more.
