Will our owners look to spend a lot to keep us up or accept the possibility of relegation?

Good bums or good seats?

 

The thing is that means spunking money on players and if we go down we've lost it along with the premier league money.

That would mean tighter restrictions on spending within the FFP rules they're reinventing as we speak.

It might be and imo is a better option if we're 10 points a drift to build for a promotion push and if they happen to stay up great and if not you're already prepared

 

Good bums on seats. And I don’t just mean players.

I mean everything.

 

We go down, we don't need to play PL's Bullshit rules. We sign long term deals whilst in the championship which is then retrospective when we get back to the PL.

 

I nominate GG and Roly to pre vet the fans before season tickets are issued.

Simple question Sir/Madam - How many central midfielders do you wish to see us play with? 3 they get a ticket any other answer and its GTF.

 

Unfortunately that's not the case because FFP is still a thing mate.

Anyway id me looking at the best of the championship if we're looking down come Jan. Maybe take one or two off the clubs around us. Id go after Raphinha fur example.

 

Your not wrong.

I’ve also been studying this. Because it’s where we will be in 4 years time.

 

It is mate, It allows us to press the CHEAT button by fudging stupidly high commercial deals and partnerships without the need to get PL board aproval.

 

One thing that might go in our favour, particularly in the loan market is the fact that it's a WC year next year. Players may be happy to come on loan with a guarantee of game time (Lingard would get that without doubt) as it's in their interests to be playing rather than not, we go down they fook off back to their parent clubs if they don't wanna stay....we stay up then we sign them up permanently if the clause is there.

I sincerely hope we don't wait until the last week of the window to do our business like we usually do.....last day in a lot of cases. We need bodies in the door for as many of the January games we can get them in for. I'd like to think that stuff is already happening ready to pull the trigger come 1st Jan.

 

I have a feeling they're going to cover that because they know we'll be back

 

I would expect prem clubs would make is wait because they're determined to get us relegated.

They'll even play u21s towards the end vs our relegation rivals

 

Meanwhile the champions league draw is being re-done: I suspect there will be some unhappy teams when they get less than easy ties like Man City and Liverpool.

FFS the corruption is everywhere. Ha ha

 

Here's my predictions

Ramsey - first over the line, early doors.
Kamara - 2nd over the line, early doors.

then we will be fighting it out for Botman v AC Milan.
We will try and get Trippier and that will be held up as Norwich won't want Aarons going to Atletico in Jan.

We will then try and scramble for Lingard or Dembele on loan - Man Utd won't want to do business with us. Barca will want a huge permanent fee.

We will possibly go for Digne and Everton won't want to business with us. We may try for Ait-Nouri and Wolves won't play ball either.

We may then go for Gintner and get him later in the window.

Last day scrambles for anyone and everyone with a name and we inevitably **** it up.

 

There's a thread for this
