I'm guessing we're setting ourselves up for the two scenarios.

If we stay up, we get another injection of hefty TV money and Premier League riches. We'll be more financially secure and we're still set to invest in the squad - however, spending will presumably be more restricted. However, if we stay up, the argument will hopefully be our new signings have pushed us up a level or two, so there won't be the need for another transfer window of heavy investment.

If we go down, we'll be protected slightly by the parachute payments. We'll also have - on paper, hopefully - more saleable assets. Selling one or two good performers for a big profit will probably be required.

Either way, I've got faith that the club know what they're doing. I highly doubt they're putting the club in unsustainable debt, it goes against their entire philosophy and they won't want to lose goodwill.

 

That's obviously the route we're going down,any better suggestions?

 

At least we will be competitive in the Championship next year

 

Yeah - buy only in the most critical areas and take our medicine if we went down. There’s no doubt we’ve added some quality but at a high price. For example Greaves is a player but Burgess could have done the job at left centre back without loading ourselves with risk.

 

You're a bundle of laughs aren't you?!

 

So basically do a "Norwich"?

We got where we are so far by taking the brave,ambitious and,yes,riskier option.I'm prepared to keep trusting in KMc and MA.

 

We WONT go down with the signings we have made, keep the faith boys!!

 

Nope. Don’t do a Norwich but we don't want to be back to square one in five years because of financial ruin, we want to be challenging for Europe by then.

 

Jack Clarke bid accepted by Sunderland....20 million plus add-ons, what a fecking great signing this would be if we can sort out personal terms, absolutely buzzing!!

 

Maybe why the Broja deal has stalled. Perhaps we can’t afford both. Or waiting to announce another double signing?

 

Sunderland fans ain't happy, feel like they've been robbed by little old Ipswich

 

Now links with Luton winger Chiedozie Ogbene and Trevor Challobah. I think Challobah would be a great addition on loan, he knows the club well, it's a possibility!! The Luton lad....don't know anything about him but is he needed??

 

No to either from me. Definitely don’t need another winger, the only position we may want is another striker - maybe a loan deal?

 

I'd go for another striker so Delap can also be used in the wide positions. We've got lots of forwards, the challenge is with Broadhead and Burns injured as things stand we don't have to many high impact players coming off the bench ala last season when we changed the front 3/4 positions.
