Can we afford it? 20:15 - Aug 20 with 5403 views | TheBluesmith | Apologies if there’s already been a discussion on this but I’m just wary of the level of fees and wages we must be aggregating to. I’m loving the business we’re doing, especially with coach McKenna at the helm, and I get that: 1. We’re signing players with age on their side and huge resale potential 2. The “loan with obligation to buy if we stay up” model financially derisks the three big loans 3. We are going with longish contracts to amortise the costs 4. We have the money from the US 5. Ashton is a shrewd custodian But does that cover us? I’d hope it does.Just really don’t want to do a Forest and remember the Sheepshank years of financial pain which hamstrung us until Evans came along. [Post edited 20 Aug 2024 20:34]

Nor was he very honest about "temporary and voluntary administration". The stands were a massive mistake. Made with the best of intentions, but a mistake nevertheless. |
I am quite sure mistakes were made. However, at the time, I don't think anyone disagreed with investing in the team that had just finished 5th in the Premier League and was about to play in Europe. |  |
