Who said anything about keeping our heads above water? Pretty sure anything recouped will be reinvested. There's a difference between being skint (as under ehabs forced austerity) and finding the best way to sustainably reinvest.
Happy to have a broader discussion in the FFP thread if this becomes a back and forth, but please drop the he said she said gump. The comment about head above water is in regards to being competitive, not about surviving as a club. If we're relying on sales in order to be able to invest, then it's reliant on continually finding players we can sell at a profit. If we head into next summer unable to bring in decent money in player sales are we saying we wouldn't be able to invest? And if so we'd be.. going backwards, i.e. not keeping our heads above water. If we have no headroom for investment without player sales then that's a concern.
Not sure why but after reading that I really fancy fish, chips and mushy peas tonight…. But definitely no vinagre on the chips lol
I do get the feeling that this highlighting of the FFP rules and that we have to keep a close eye on it, to some degree is being used as a mechanism to temper fan's expectations. IMO if that is the case not a bad ploy to use, and at the same time is sort of highlighting the unfairness of the parachute payments, which we know Acun is critical of. I'm all for us not overspending and getting into a financial message again, so whatever way they choose to do it, it is okay by me.
Anyone know if Vinagre is fit for pre season? Criminal if we’re signing an injured player after last year
