West Brom kept us honest last time. -

Even before the debt revelations, the consensus seemed to be that relegation was literally the worst thing that can happen. And despite clubs like West Ham, Southampton, Leicester and us (twice) showing that you can bounce back from relegation and be stronger for the experience, they think that way leads to rack and ruin. With their financial problems, it might be a big ask to bounce back at the first time of asking, but the club needs an overhaul and they'll never do that if they're too terrified of the drop to risk a new approach. The Championship is more forgiving.

I saw something on RTG that after buying 46 players since 2009, they've only made a profit on something like 3-4.

No, conflate kənˈfleɪt/Submit verb gerund or present participle: conflating combine (two or more sets of information, texts, ideas, etc.) into one. "the urban crisis conflates a number of different economic, political, and social issues" They've erroneously combined being good at football with being good at football management, combining the two attributes into one. -
I know (and I'm mostly playing Devil's advocate), but Short should surely see that investing >£20m of his own money would save him 5 times that come May, but he won't do it. £10m for Defoe, £15m for Kone and £25m for Pickford might be £50m of players worth "losing" if it can be reinvested for survival, or used to pay down the debt in anticipation of relegation.

Batshit appointment. Chinese owner conflating good at football with good at football management. -
You'll need a host of them if you keep this up.

They're flat broke, if Defoe is tempted could they resist a daft (£10m bid)? More chance of Pickford going to Liverpool for megabucks, to be honest.

Last time there was a big gap between the top 2 and the rest was 13/14 when Leicester came up with Burnley (8pts clear of 3rd) and before that it was the last time we went up with West Brom (12 points clear of 3rd), every other season it's been down to 3 points or so. -

Sure, it's all "Joke joke joke", "Ha Ha Ha", but who fucking called it right? That's right cockfuckers, Dave got it right. -
It's fucking there, Happy Face is a big fat liar. Click the link yourself if you don't believe me Rayvin. If that is your real name!

Just looked at that, only £53m spent, and c£30m of that was on Andre Ayew and Lanzini.

Fucker. They took a load of their points off traditionally top sides, who have all improved this year? Last season they took 21pts off those teams, this year they've met them all and have only taken 2pts from the 6 fixtures against the traditional top 6.

Wonder why it's gone off the rails so badly? Was Payet just a 1 season wonder?

MF is a meany, and no mistake. Not as mean as Gemmil is to Renton, but mean, none the less.
