Trialist
Transfers in have been financed by transfers out, so where is the Sky money? Has it gone to China? When will we get some energy and creativity in midfield? (been waiting for four years now!) Will Dawson, Jrod and Hegazi want to play for us having missed out on Premiership moves? Will any of the youngsters be given a chance? Will Darren Moore come up with a tactical plan one day soon? Will the recruitment team be sacked (with much ignominy!)

Why in my 46 years of support have we always been controlled by tight fisted ****s.
Not once have I come in my pants at the news of a stellar signing.
Always at the back of the queue scrapping for crumbs.
Totally p I s s e d off at our small minded approach to everything.

My fear at the end of the season was that the parachute/tv money would go straight to the owners bank to make up for half of the value being wiped off our club because of relegation. This seems to be happening. Also the club will be up for sale by Christmas. That I still believe will happen. While our owner may have assets worth millions I doubt he has ready cash to pump into the club!

Parachute payments are not paid straight after relegation so the owner can do one with them.
They will be paid in stages and will, I presume be used for the salaries of everybody and the upkeep of the grounds etc.
We will also have staggered transfer fees we owe for players we bought over the last few seasons.
Surely if the owner wanted to do a legger with the parachute money he could have increased his haul by taking any offers for the likes of jrod, Dawson and the rest.
He bought the Albion to make him money and has brought in Jenkins to do that for him.
It's not a rich boys toy for him, he looked at jezza the c???'s Accounts and that massive £28m sitting there in the bank (which the c??? Had accumulated by not spending on the Halfords end because we could not sell out, but we did on Saturday, funny that, nor on lukaku, and eventually took it as a final dividend) and thought I will have a bit of that before it turned pear shaped for him with relegation.
He is a p Rick of a businessman for paying £180m for us, but I doubt he is
going to "asset strip" as it has been
suggested on numerous occasions, because it would have started by now imo.
