Two words - credit crunch!
The key word now is consolidation and keeping your money however small it may be in the bank ( ha ha but choose wisely). I beleive that football as an economy, is heading for a rude readjustment, which i beleive will be evident in the Jan and summer windows, also the next round of Tv rights deals should be significantly lower then previous years which means clubs may be earning less then they currently are now, another good reason why perhaps we have been and are keeping our powder dry on the transfer front. Its very likely the case that the gravey train is over lads.
A Second point i would like to add, is that the of clubs majority of clubs that have been taken over in recent years much of their new found wealth was a flash in the pan, what success has it really yeilded in terms of consistent growth or elevateing clubs in question to echalance of world football that their new owners promised for every Aston Villa and Chelsea theres a Newcastle, West Ham, City and Pompey . Maybe just maybe the grass isnt always greener, or perhaps its important to be considered in terms of who you sell your club to aka Kenwright doesnt want to sell.
I firmly hope Kenwright doesnt go anywhere for a couple of years untill the football economy which i beleive is about to expierence a rude adjustment settles. If we get out of it with a new stadium all the better. Its prudent presently not to spend much on players with a new round of a tv rights deal to be negotiated it could be hugely detreimental to organise deals on the structure of a projected income that may not be there in six months time, and a wait and see approach is certainly advisable in terms of the clubs long term future.
If only we had some good young talent ready to burst into the first team in the next season or two! Ha ha hang on!
Thanks Bill your still the man, unfortunatly many of our fans choose to react to situations rather then respond appropriately, im glad our chairman does.
