    Let me guess? They've been dipping in for the odd mix up bag and now can't account for all the wedge they collected and can't hand a nice big cheque over to any charity????????

    Oh its just that Alex Hurst (See Below) who left as Chair now without a vote renaming himself as Chair to try and get some spotlight.

    I don't blame you. Bunch of ****ing chancers that are either

    A) Thick as **** and have no clue on how business investment and shareholdings work. In which case they shouldn't try and raise money.

    B) Know full well how business investment works. In which case if the consortium were to start splashing tons of wedge on new stadiums, training grounds, academy, and big name players they would never ever be able to keep up that level of investment. In which case they shouldn't have tried to raise money.

    On the one hand, it concerns me that someone can step away and then come back because he was 'elected for a three year term'.

    On the other hand, I'd be surprised if Hurst got re-elected after pulling this. I don't often agree with his football opinions, but that means nothing.

    I agree on the relegation experience. Generally speaking that means they have been **** and just got out of the ****.

    I mean we have the worlds best Duffa in charge if you want relegation experience.

    However what I do want is premiership top end experience. And right now as it stands I can only see Rodgers who ticks that box.

    Bringing in good staff members and a good manager and in the right numbers will be better than 2-3 actual signings.

    Honestly. If you have the best car in the world but you can’t pass your driving test you can’t drive the car.

    I'm right in that the only restriction in the transfer windows is to stay within FFP? So basically we are allowed to sign as many players as we want as long as we remain within FFP whatever figure that happens to be? Obviously we only have a 25man squad so some names will have to fall off of that list but in theory if we identified 3 or 4 players at £20m - £30m each and a top end marquee type signing at £50m that is entirely possible?
