i can see this as being an opportunity for MBS and the PIF to personally get together with Howe and Stavely to go through the current issues. Saudi will not want to be embarrassed with relegation so i expect a flurry of players to arrive this week.

FFP is completely out of the window, i saw a report from that Kieran Maguire football financial expert and he thinks even with relatively modest sponsorship deals, we can spend 200million every season for the next 4 years and not have to worry, so imagine the money available if we got into the CL.

I don't believe in the 10 year plan thing, i genuinely think if we stay up, we will be knocking on the door of the top 4 within 2/3 years

Man City are top draw and will take some catching
Chelsea have a massive volume of talent from kids to first team and will also be hard to catch

Liverpool's squad is aging now, and they have not replenished the squad like City and Chelsea do. Their owners don't budge on wage structure so i expect Mo Salah to move on, same as Mane and that tarty looking Brazilian.

Man Utd are a squad full of individuals and ego's going nowhere

Arsenal are on the up, Spurs are utter shlte considering how highly they think of themselves.

Everton

so it wont be hard for the likes Villa and Newcastle to break into that group
