That might be enough to keep Vincent here a while until the City job materialises.
I think that being relegated meant we had to front up £65 million of our outstanding debt. That would in theory have been available if we'd stayed up, which might explain in part why we would have had money waiting had we stayed up, I'm not convinced it was new money.

And the debt is still outstanding, due to be repaid in full by December 2025. Is this substantial investment awaiting our return to the PL going to be used to pay off the debt before being spent on the playing side, or is it all to be spent on players, while we cross our fingers and hope the humungous outstanding debt will just disappear of it's own free will ?

Because it won't, we can forget about it and enjoy the football, but it won't go away, it's still there like a fecking great monkey on our backs, and one way or another, it will have to be repaid soon.
