This is what ‘the club showing ambition’ looks like in reality …
… if we want the club to compete with those in the PL the money has to come from somewhere.
It’s also probably fair to say that our facilities are better than the likes of Burnley, Palace, Bournemouth, etc. The improvements to the stadium, moving the away fans, better communications, etc all have to be paid for.
I thought the club presented itself brilliantly in the playoff second leg and at Wembley. The club’s presence around London and in the stadium was absolutely top class, in my opinion, and made Sheff Utd look quite shabby in comparison.
Someone who posts on RTG told me, in confidence, how much our hospitality bill came to. He hasn’t posted it so I can't but all those ex-players and managers, like Reid and Quinny, don’t come cheap when the bar bill is totted up
