Steve Gibson over the years has ploughed in £250 million of his own money.

For a period of over 5 years in the championship they had spent more on wages than their actual total income. They get round FFP rules by the way Gibson puts in a mix of equity and loans.

They are without Gibson a chronically insolvent football club and have been for years.

For what it’s worth I don’t care as I don’t believe in the financial rules which pretends clubs are solvent when they are not.

What I don’t see is why Gibson is any different to any other billionaire who gets round rules to suit him but seems to escape critiscm

Because he stays within FFP and a sustainable business model.

Aside from when we had parachute payments way back when, we tend to operate in phases when averaged out. Loans need to be paid back over time and seen to be done so, including from any other company he owns.

This means we have a season or two of "going for it" followed by a few seasons of cost-cutting to keep us on an even keel. For these seasons especially we're heavily reliant on talent spotting bargain buys and either getting a manager in who can operate on a shoestring (Mowbray, Warnock) or to save even more money during the lean periods, one new to the game who will cost less (Woodgate, Southgate when he was appointed even)

I'd agree though that without Gibson we'd be screwed and I just don't fancy the idea of getting some rich sugar daddy who has no affinity with the club in, who can just drop the club whenever he decides he's bored of it.

Absolutely fucking devastated at the news that Leicester City have sacked their manager, he was doing an absolutely fantastic job there, and now im totally gutted that he won't be able to continue his job of getting Leicester out of the Championship in his first season.

I’m watching the game on Pompey tv and for virtually every time a Southampton player touches the ball they’re saying how much they cost.
Kinda funny highlighting the gulf in resources but also kinda amazing how much Southampton have spent!

Blackburn and WBA are in serious trouble. Both out of the bottom 3 by 1 game. 1 point in the last 5 games for WBA and 2 points in the last 5 games for Blackburn. All clubs other than Sheffield Wednesday are picking up more points. Blackburn are only out of the bottom 3 by a GD of 3.
