If 10m in wage's is a lot for us having spent twelve seasons in the premier, eight in succession and god knows how many parachute payments, then the future must look pretty grim for Leeds.
The fact is that this club has always put money before ambition.
Go back to the 78-79 season, we needed two signings to make us a great side.
Instead we sold Cantello and Cunningham.
After Robson saved us in the great escape we had the perfect opportunity to make sure we never struggled again, we didn't strengthen and in the January window we sold Earnshaw and Horsfield.
Two seasons ago we appoint a lovely bloke who had never managed at any level before in our most important season at the time.
Now with basically the same side we came up with we sell our most experienced premier league defender.
We have signed a CB on a free and paid £1m for another.
It's all about money, always has been,ambition on the pitch is secondary.
Believe anything else and you are kidding yourself.

True, but I want us to be a side who is either in the Prem or challenging to be there. Since 2000, the lowest league position we have finished is 6th in the Championship.

If we try to financially extend ourselves and go down, with nothing to invest when we are there then we could quite easily be a mid table Championship club - or worse.

Like it or not, what makes us formidable in the Championship is our comparable wealth against the other side.
