Its a fine financial balancing act of spend v "product", not at all easy. Last season it worked a treat. This season the inverse.  We can never put the future of the club at risk again, even if the consequences are relegation.

Might be this way for a while without a rich sugar daddy (or mammy).


Spot on Batch. DV needs to realise that we aren't Chelsea.

The board need to remember that the F.C. in our name stands for Football Club.

That was has left me most disillusioned with us this season, its all money, money, money
I'd completely agree with this. Which is why I find it bizarre that you then go on to talk pretty much solely about money, money, money based on the false premise that money hasn't been spent this season. It has in both transfers and some pretty substantial wages that people always seem to forget about as if transfer spending was the only part of the football budget. The problem is not that money hasn't been spent, it's that it's not been spent well. And the decision making has been poor.

As you so rightly put it
The board need to remember that the F.C. in our name stands for Football Club.
It's not just a standard P&L business, and while they're very good at the business side of things, their record has been patchy on the football side of things. Time to get some expert advice in methinks. But simply throwing money at the problem is categorically NOT the answer - that's a very good way to end up with a team full of Pruttons.
