What good is a self sufficient football club to Ashley though? What would the point be? We became sustainable, finally, and then got relegated. Undoing many of the benefits of the sustainability. He'd be far better off aiming to get us to middle table looking upwards, with no chance of relegation. The only way that happens, is with continued and sustained investment in order to remain competitive.

Has Essembee said anything about our promotion? Or has it all been commentary on Sunderland
-
Well aye, but you could have argued the same point when we finished 5th under Pardew, and they took it as a sign that they didn't need to do anything for a couple of years.
-
But surely then that'd be tantamount to accepting that we're just going to go straight back down again? As a business decision, they need to ensure we stay up. I suppose the reality though, is that they know they won't be able to hold on to Rafa long term, and investing in playing staff for some sort of surge up the league to actually be in contention isn't something they consider to be important. While I've no doubt that Rafa could make their money work harder (in terms of getting the best out of players), they'll also know that he won't stay unless they genuinely want to kick on. So I suspect that Ashley and Charnley already know what the outcome is going to be. If we start hearing rumours of other managers being linked with us, we should perhaps assume he's off.

I remain fascinated that all these people are genuinely convinced that the Tories have their best interests at heart. I could understand if they were swinging to the Liberals, but the Tories?

To be fair to Ashley, he has actually stumped up for the past two seasons (albeit not his own money, but a reasonable indication that we should have funds available if the club has generated them itself). The gamble in January was tedious but if he and Rafa can come to an agreement now, it could actually pay off in the long run. If we'd forked out £15-20m then it could have been on subpar players. If we do it now, at least they'll be players fit for the PL. All of this said, I'm mindful of Charnley's statement on the accounts a few weeks back. That didn't sound encouraging.

Don't think you understand the point of this thread mate. It's not about Dummett, it's about Fish.
-
Aye it's a strange one actually. Granted Huddersfield falling away helped but we wobbled through the same period so it's not like we were lucky as such. Or rather, had they beaten us in the end, they would have been just as lucky by the same measure.
-
Noelie doesn't disappoint by suggesting the opposition team were in fact hard done by. Well played sir
-
When in fuck were Leeds ever seriously in it
-
Even so like, imagine how badly Troops is gonna take that comment It's going to be in every second post he makes from now until next season.
-
Some if the threads over there "I hate them more than anything else in the world" Can you imagine hating a football team that much? It's gonna be brutal on there when they go down...
-
Well that whole sorry episode is consigned to history now. Fuck the Championship, Fuck everyone in it. Back to the PL thank fuck. Well done to Rafa.

Fucking finally!! Get in!!
-
Good spell of pressure which we need to capitalise on
-
Our strength on the break will be important next year I think...
-
Just a number like, you could drop dead tomorrow for all you know.
-
Get in!!!!!
-
If it stays like this to half time we'll have to hope Rafa can change it up a bit.
-
Agreed, Yedlin would be much more useful for this.
-
Starting to think we should just sit back for a bit and take the threat of these counters away. A bit like Russian roulette at the moment.
-
I don't think you're giving Perez enough credit for his off camera play
-
Their goalkeeper is bricking it on the plus side.
