Nobody knows how much money we may have available. The reports that we are relying on loans just to keep the lights on smell like total BS to me, and more often than not they come from individuals or publications that have a history of getting things wrong, and/or publishing downright BS in the past. They can’t be trusted at all.
We also need to move away from referring to ourselves as some kind of joke outfit that nobody half decent would consider. The truth is that our squad already has some top names, and we are performing at the same level as super-duper Newcastle in the league.
If it turns out that FFP actually has some teeth (which seems to be the case) then the likes of Newcastle are going to be restricted in their spending just like we are!
The point being that we are not some unattractive joke that can’t attract good players. Once we have got this points deduction out of the way, we are every bit as attractive as bloody Newcastle!
Does that mean we are capable of signing whoever we want, of course not, but we are just as attractive as the likes of Newcastle, West Ham, and Aston Villa up until a few months ago.
Villa are also unlikely to maintain their current position in the top 4, just like Newcastle are unable to. And nobody will bat an eyelid if we beat Villa at the weekend.
We aren’t the joke that Matt Hughes wishes we were! We are more than capable of attracting the type of players that will end up at Villa or Newcastle.
