In recent years alone how many sides have spent what you want us to spend and have still come straight back down? It's been years since a Championship side cemented a place in the Prem. Sunderland are in their first season.

It isn't how much you spend. It's how you spend it and how wisely it's spent. It's a mix of transfer fees and extra wages. It isn't about Luton although you would never guess reading a lot of posts on here. How much did the other sides that came back down spend? How are they doing now?

In reality we spent money we had coming in from other transfers. We have Championship players on Championship wages and still have a higher wage bill than a Championship income. Let's add some Prem players on Prem wages getting relegated back to the Championship. If you can't shift these players...

Nobody has said don't spend money. What's been said is spending 100m plus and with the wages that comes with it is a gamble that some are trying to deny. Yes Sunderland are doing well so far. They have spent a massive amount and got a lot for a player with a well known surname. The question is...

Luton did it so they could afford a new ground. You can't blame them really. They didn't expect it to go so wrong back in the Championship though. We finally have our own ground so there's no comparison. I remember the first time I went. Walking along a road of terraced houses to find you went...

It seems they need to go up this season or are in serious financial problems. They have already mortgaged the last of their Prem money before the season started to keep going this season and are stuck with players that cost them a lot and on big wages they can't shift. Oh how the mighty fall 😂

Who said out of existence? There's no need to make up a story to try and prove a point. So you think it's wise to spend 100m plus on players with big wages to go with it and do a Leicester, Sheffield United and others? Many don't. It's a slippery slope we've already been on and has taken us 25...

Per person yes. Lots of people are now investing in British football. Even Swansea are getting investments from where you would least expect it. That's why I said it wouldn't surprise me. We now have our own ground. 40m? Player values? Very close to the Prem? It could even be he moved money...

Swansea 😆

Swansea were the better side but poor up front. 1st goal a big deflection and the 2nd 2 big mistakes by the GK.

They hadn't been in the Championship for longer than we hadn't been in the Prem and he kept them up last season.

Strangely enough I can't remember the last time we had our 1st choice 11 on the pitch at the same time.

Let's see who we have available first. We might be able to put a decent side out but name everyone else fit enough to sit on the bench.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. They would be more dangerous with one but they don't have one.

We played Armstrong out of the game. Hardly noticed he was on the pitch.

Someone else might have joined him already as there's been a lot of investment.

The only Championship players we should be looking at should be these amongst the best of them. Someone to offer us something and not just taking up a place in the squad.

You may be happy to jeopardise our future and spend 100m plus to have a chance of staying up. I'd prefer to keep our best players and strengthen from there. Why isn't that going for it? They keep improving under the guidance of Lampard & co.

Negative? We've played most of our most difficult games of the season already. Not only do we have a massive points advantage but also a massive GD advantage. The CBS is a fortress. Not a single player has ket us down this season although some were supposed to be poor. Ipswich need to get...

Having a squad ready for a promotion push is financially sustainable with the parachute money coming in. Spending 100m or more and then the wage bill that comes with it just to have a chance of staying up is what puts clubs into a financial mess. I would prefer to become a yoyo club than a...
