It's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Only a money soaked blank cheque type owner will ever stop rising starts leaving this club...but it doesn't stop at our club.
We...among just about every other club apart from the elite few, are just nurseries for the bigger clubs to raid,a s and when necessary.
Until this sickness ceases, we will never have any player stability, long term.
Look at Southampton as a yardstick for it.
