I’ll put you down as a “no”

Yeah it’s not nice. But I doubt being Luton and getting double relegated was nice either. Football finances are fucked and we aren’t going to change that by holding back £20m when we lose more than that in a season at this level.

Maybe you can name players we’ve signed who had played eight minutes after a month and then went on to become a regular.

There are no examples of clubs trying to stay up in the PL and causing themselves massive financial difficulties. It’s become a shibboleth on here that you mustn’t spend any money or the FFP goblins will eat you and you’ll become Bury but that’s not what fucked us under Sisu and it’s not fucked...

Yeah I hear that for every £1m you have left over the PL gives you another 3 points.

24 and 26 points from 30 is a ridiculous return

Can you name these really good players?

Where you getting that transfer data from? Wiki has Brentford signing a lot more than that; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%9322_Brentford_F.C._season

Only on SBT is failing to get on the pitch a reason you might actually be really good.

Surely the plan is you sell those players? I dont think we can afford proven PL quality. I do think you need to drop around £100m though.

25 man squad. As it stands it’s: GK: Wilson, Dovin (1 short) RB: MvE, KKH (probably OK) LB: Dasilva, Brau (surely Brau isn’t up to scratch so 1 short) CB: Thomas, Kitch, Lats, Woolf (Think most agree we need an upgrade over Lats/Kitch here Lats has a year left so probably he’ll be allowed to...

PL players will want PL wages regardless of when they came to the club really. It’s no coincidence we’ve had a flurry of renewals as agents spot their clients are about to get promoted.

Were talking modern era really Clarrie Bourton knocking in a bajillion a game while smoking a pipe doesn’t count.

I think he’ll want to sell it or keep us up. I can’t see why you’d spend £70m getting here then not try and stay personally and I think it’s cope from fans who want an excuse when we’re relegated. The irony of the “come straight back up” proponents like yourself is the one club to do what you...

What makes you say that? He spent all the Vik and Gus money and then some on getting up. Were more likely to skimp on wages if anything.

Yeah just checked and only two teams in the last five years have made fewer than ten summer signings: Bournemouth in 2022 - 8 (who still spent close to £100m) and Leicester in 2024 - 9 (who had been a PL team for a decade prior to relegation). So five plus Onyeka would be by far the lowest...

OK?

Get Simms ready now cos the Yanks always ruin Haji

Just checking but I think that would be by far and away the lowest number of signings any promoted club has made including Luton. I think you’re wildly underestimating.

Who is likely to go and when? .
