With a net spend on fees of £21m and a wage bill of £33.7m (£14m higher than ours in our promotion season). This year will undoubtedly look worse. Could be a very different summer for them this year as they've accumulated a squad on big wages without a great deal of 'trading value' that doesn't look like being good enough to get them where they want to be. I can't imagine they are going to have a great deal of maneuverability in the market this summer.

And almost a quarter of their revenue was from their stadium naming rights coming from their own companies.
A few years of championship stagnation will surely derail their 60k stadium plans. |  |

Hope they fall flat on their 6rses (as long as there's still a club at the end of it) – their owners steamed into this season thinking they'd break the Championship and it just so happens that it isn't especially easy for anybody. If they don't go up next year I think they'll have a problem.
(Should add that I wish Tom Wagner well following his recent health issues, which are entirely separable from the sentiments above!) [Post edited 8 Apr 15:38]

It could work the other way in that minimal turnover of players could lead to a greater understanding and connections on the pitch, like us in the Championship promotion. |  | | |

I’m sure they’ll be able to cook the books Chelsea style or slip a little envelope or two to the right people. |  | | |

I can already hear Fred Dibnah honking his horn as those chimneys collapse. |  | | |

I wasn't convinced by their summer dealings tbh, so not too surprised it hasn't worked out.
Shame. |  |

Oh, don't worry, as someone who knows the career of that stadium designer Thomas Free very, very well, the stadium as shown in those renders, with those chimneys, will never be built. |  | | |
