I think the ownership has proven itself capable. And I think that’s the key variable. I also think we’ve lucked onto a promising manager and I’d back him to make the most of what he’s given. As such I’d give him as much as possible.

Better players give you a better chance. There is absolutely a correlation between money spent and success levels. Far more than any other variable.

Wasn’t so long ago Tats Bobby and Haji were the mercenaries cos they didn’t turn up in Samoan Joes of a weekend like the salt of the earth types that got us where we were.

Love Vik but have always had doubts about him at PL level TBH. Not watched enough to have a proper opinion but wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t make it there.

A fucking massive one that’s paid for by equally Fucking massive TV money. That’s the game.

All those clubs had been there recently, no? They weren’t starting from a non PL base like us, Ipswich, Sunderland, Forest, etc.

Can you name a club that’s spent less and thrived? We’ve got canny recruitment and great coaching here. Still cost us £50m to buy promotion. Ultimately you get what you pay for.

Im looking at examples of clubs that have done what we want and assuming our task is similar. Sunderland and Forest have to be the model. And no it’s not guaranteed but neither was promotion after spending £50m at this level.

Self fulfilling if you won’t spend what’s needed to stay up you may as well spend nothing at all. I really don’t see the logic in half arsing it tbh.

When did we do it in the first place? the collapse of ITV Digital hit us more than anything and yes we could get another cataclysmic event where say Sky pull out of football but you can’t plan for that stuff. The fact is even if you think we were doing a Derby or whatever we didn’t go out of...

I do wonder what we could get out of him. I’d love to hear Lampard talk more about tactics and how he sees the game generally but would he feel he’s giving things away? I think a good template would be: how do you see the opposition? What threats do they pose? What sort of football do they...

I think we have to trust that King is not the sort of owner to be paying stupid money for crap that we can’t get out of.

I think that’s debatable and “getting a new owner” isn’t actually a football club being destroyed.

The only owners with their own line of lighters… Doug and Will special edition Clippers when?

Are people claiming we overspent in the Prem and that caused Sisu to put us into admin twenty years later??

What do you think did?

Id rather do a Sheff Utd and just miss out on autos and finish’s midtable than do a Luton in L1. “slippery slope” nothing from the last 25 years is from overspending you’re just talking nonsense.

Would quite like to see is try 532 while Dasilva is unavailable with him at LWB and Haji and Simms up front.

He’s been hit and miss for me. Recent form has been good. At times he’s been anonymous. Point remains I wouldn’t bring a player from L1 to top of Champ in Jan and expect them to hit the ground running.

Rumours seem to be top clubs but aren’t they always?
