OldSkyBlue58 put up his loose financial analogy of things according to how ticket sales may transpire over the season and the relation to budget. Selling one of our better players for a paltry £75,000 or whatever to a supposed rival is hardly good business when he now has to be replaced at such a late stage in pre season doesn't seem to fit with that.
Lets be honest, they've promoted a few kids who I doubt are really ready, re-signed a couple of last years bit part and ineffective players and will take a few more frees if and when.
It's same old SISU, cut costs once again to the bone, hope Mowbray can find another couple of gems like last year and after that just blame FFP for all the failings and demise............in the meantime full steam ahead on the court front, management charges and any other fiddles they can pull through clever accountants.
Fuck 'em, it's pointless pretending it's any better than that !
