this window can be seen as a free hit from the new owners in terms of outlay, If they spend 170m to strengthen and we stay up, they technically have not spent a penny as this will be covered for just staying in the PL by the yearly PL TV cash.

Get the players they need asap before Jan 1st and we are in with a chance

Isn't it amazing that those thoughts never entered the mind of Fatso. Or if they did they were rapidly expelled.

bloody crazy mate, Ashley was too much of a chancer to think like this though, took a chance and played the law of averages, he sees 2 relegations in 14 years, so was always worth a risk.

This time its a season too far, didn't strengthen and the players are another year older.

For the new owners though, it just makes sense to me, they will receive a minimum of £170m just for being in the PL

so even if they spent this on new players to keep us up, they have still not spent anything, unless im completely missing something like, which is quite likely

or perhaps he did think like that but had developed a way of pocketing the £170million to use for his own purposes.
