I might be wrong but I thought there’s now a thing where ‘bigger’ clubs are allowed to poach youngsters from EFL teams..?

It’s £105m over three years though isn’t it? And one year of the last three they’d taken in £100m from selling Grealish

To be honest if we are going to spend a bit more I’d rather it was on infrastructure eg training ground and maybe scouting/youth coaching. All of those can be expensive to keep going but that’s the...

Rise in costs is made up of nearly £4m increase in wages - not surprising as this was for first season back in Championship - and £1m in other costs, some of which will just be inflation

I’m 35, does that make me young on here..?

No guarantee that it was going to work for Bournemouth though, and then what would've happened? End up like Reading or Portsmouth?

And I do remember lots of people saying we needed more...

I mean they were fined about £8m for their promotion season when they lost about £40m so that sounds pretty expensive and risky to me...

Right but if it’s reasonable to expect a football club to progress, and the metric for that is increasing your highest league position regularly, there’s just not enough space in the league is there?...

Stuck in a rut under TS of moving from League Two to Championship..?

Would still love to know who we should have hired instead of who we have. There are no guarantees of success with managerial...

I usually look to Kieran Maguire on this - for Luton basically it's difficult to tell quite what they were operating like in their promotion season because while their wage costs look very high (150%...

Quite a touching post that.
