I don't think our owners lack money. In fact they have plenty. I think the FFP thingy is a problem. I now think it's going to be a massive problem.
However what they do lack is common sense.

Totally agree.
I can live without the money, I can live without old players, I can even live with a low table finish.
However, what I cannot live with is a s22t manager.
Hollow was brought in to move us up the table, and as he said on TV before becoming manager "the team should be doing better". He comes in and wrecks everything. According to some, he was 'bringing our Rangers back'? for the life of me, I cannot remember us being this bad?
If he doesn't take us down this season and stays, he will next. The writing is on the wall.
Surely as a player you want to play at the highest level possible for the best team possible that suits yours and their aspirations. Some infact quite a few are just money grabbing ****ers. Players want to win things. It's a timely coincidence that Freeman has just come out and said it wasn't his first choice to go to QPR. He statisticly is getting plaudits. Clubs will come knocking soon. Clubs who in my opinion we should never ever be selling to but if we can't match their ambition then we are always going to lose our better players. Hopefully they can be replaced.
Never got near the first team....Not too worried...

You reckon he is keeping us up now? Selling or losing one of the holy trinity of midfielders who don’t help us score goals and don’t stop us conceding them might loosen things up, might even see a winger on the pitch who is allowed to attack.
I know he’s a decent player, but if we make money on him, that’s the business model.
The business model needs some planning. The best 11 we could put out now is barely good enough for low mid table in this League, and Ollie never picks the best 11. Freeman frustrates me because his finishing (shots and final pass) is often so weak compared to his usually excellent play in midfield. But he clearly generates our best play and he still has about the best assist stats in the League. Losing him now without a very good replacement could well send us to League 1.
My point is that we are still in a precarious position and relegation would cost us a lot more than £4m. He doesn’t score enough goals (nowhere near enough goals) but he does provide a lot of assists. He also adds a touch of flair, something we are sadly lacking. Now if it was Luongo that would be a different matter.
This is Abo Eisa, the Wealdstone winger we were interested in...

I can’t find any real info on how much money being relegated from the Championship costs. I suspect it’s much less than losing the PL parachute payments which we are about to, and is more of a blow to pride. Hopefully we have learned from the past and have relegation clauses in the players contracts, as their wages are by far the biggest cost.
