    I think Cairney should be in it talking about players from other clubs. I'd like us to sign him.

    Do I get a prize - I think I have figured out what his point is and it is that Huddersfield are only 7 points behind us (with a game in hand) and have spent less than us. Though it does baffle me why he has used 2015/16 transfer figures when we were in different divisions so you would expect us to spend more. Maybe because if he had used 2016/17 figures he would have seen that we had a net profit on transfers whereas Huddersfield had a net loss. All it proves is that we are a bigger club with more resources.

    What about trying to pick up John Swift for the number 10 role? The likelihood is that Sigurdsson won't be an option. He could be a good alternative. Only 21 of course which is a bit risky but he has looked really good for Reading. Got 7 in 24 games and seems to be involved in every goal they get.

    I'm sure if we relied on loan players like our competitors then Fredor would have no issue with that.

    When we were in the league above them we spent much more money, when we are in the same league we turn a profit. All of this is bad and the fans are at fault, etc.

    I used your numbers for 2015/16 and then googled the ones for this current season when we are both in the same division.

    I didn't even know who 'they' were. Can't see Huddersfield on it anywhere and I can't name every transfer from previous seasons going to clubs who were in leagues below us. I'm surprised he bothered to find out, I wouldn't have.

    We spent money, We won games, Boo hoo who gives a fook!

    Fans use the money argument constantly, people used to B1tch about man u's spending all the time, because they were winning, Chelsea and Man City fans probably get it a lot and how the money they spend have ruined the league. the argument is used when one fan is jealous of the team the other fan supports (freddor on this occasion).

    If Man U, City, Chelsea Liverpool, arsenal and spurs didn't throw so much money about, no-one would wanna watch the PL, As the demand would be lower so would the TV money and parachute payments, that teams like sunderland so gratefully accept, yet contribute very little in terms of entertainment.

    Teams like Sunderland should be thankful that they get to be in such an exciting league and that they will get the TV and parachute money to stop them from entering administration next year. There is no way that they will be making any profits next year!!!

    Fortunately, years of restricted spending and net profits in transfer windows allowed us to spend big, we then go relegated and made a net profit again. Financially I think we could be in a good position next year and going forward, if that allows us to bring some decent players in and compete, Great!

    As for the mackems, Defoe cant get out quick enough, you have no money, any prospects you have will leave and you cant fill your stadium in the top league.

    Jubilant celebrations for the mackems last year when we went down, who could have predicted that we have enjoyed our season a hell of a lot more than you!

    I am in the middle of editing a biostratigraphy report today - anything to break the monotony.

    Rare to frequent Dissiliodinium spp. and a single Nannoceratopsis dictyambonis.
