Selling his HQ and distribution warehouse to a Malaysian sports company and renting it back doesn't make sense to a layman but will to a chartered accountant advising him.
Do you know Ashley's doing any of this or are you speculating?

No they don't consistently spend more than us.
They have spent more than us on occasion. That's hardly consistently.
And also, spending is one thing. Spending wisely is another.
Did Bournemouth finish above us for all that spending?

No matter what's said. If we finished 20th we still competed.
That doesn't mean I go into any season accepting any specific finish. I go into every season expecting to see a football game on a regular basis with some entertainment and always hope for a win in EVERY game.
I expect nothing but I dream of lots and hope for lots.
