If past history serves well, then there's been a few clubs who have struggled significantly in the season following cashing in on selling their best players.Quote:

Let's hope for some miracles next year, but if the compilation video of Hylton sets the standard of football from where players are being signed from then indeed we'll be drawing on what is left after clearing the debts sooner than if the club had structured the contracts of players a bit more balanced than they have.
