Silly season

The fact is we have free'd up wages from outgoings and accumulated a significant amount of cash. We need to spend it. Levy has no excuse for not spending it either. When the new stadium was proposed he stated that the financing would affect transfers. So if he doesn't spend it where is it going??

yes he did state it which is the cause of much frustration. things might have changed due to rising costs, but if so he should let the fans know.

Chronic, completely agree. It's why I'm so disillusioned.

yes but benny on the flipside, i think we can all agree that Levy will act as he deems in the best interests of the club, rather than for his own personal gain.

so lets assess the situation at the end of the week

Some of your comments about acquiring players makes me laugh. The "permanent" members of the top 4 spots are not there "simply" because they are the best. They are the best because they attract the best players, either because they are in the Champions League or because they pay massive, enormous, mind-boggling wages.

We cannot offer either, top flight football in Europe or the sort of wages that would attract the out-and-out mercenaries.

It is not just a case of expecting Levy to go out and spend and bring in the players. The best, proven, and expensive players will go for the CL football or the wages, or both!

yes we are shopping in the next tier down... but there is lots and lots of class in that tier.

Chronic, completely agree I hope I'm wrong and he works his magic in the next 4 days.

"yes we are shopping in the next tier down... but there is lots and lots of class in that tier. "

Agreed, Chronic, exactly what I was saying. But..........the next tier down equates to the next tier down in performance, ie 5th place and lower. And quite a lot lower if we keep fvkin up against the Wigans and Norwich's of our league.

So the idea, and my point remains, we cannot expect Levy to go out and spend millions on players "in the next tier down" that are necessarily going to improve our 4th spot last time!!!

That is why we have to bring home grown players through as well but for a club of our size its a joke we have never even brought a 20 million pound player.
If we had spent in the last 3 yrs the chances are we would be in the champions league anyway

only oursleves to blame

"If we had spent in the last 3 yrs the chances are we would be in the champions league anyway"

ENIC not injecting capital to get NEW STRIKER is astonishing. The ROI (getting CL piggie trough etc) is obvious based on our one foray to date.
