He never said they didn't want promotion, merely stated that they weren't going to go gung-ho and spend millions on players that might not work out. Leaving an unbalanced squad (wage-wise) which would then unsettle the core of our team. If he'd come out and said, "we're going to spend £25m and gamble on promotion this season, if it works then great, but if it doesn't we'll be faced with a big FFP fine and be forced to sell players for less than their value to balance the books". Can you imagine the outroar if they'd bough Diony for £10m rather than a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yes, we can forget about the playoffs this season, but the real question is when will we next be in a position to dream realistically of them. My guess is at least another decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 We may well win next 3 but unfortunately at least 1/2 teams in front of us can do the same so it is all against us. That said, a very good season compared to last and big hopes for next ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You`re wasting your breath mate, as a wise man once said `a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest` Get used to hearing `we didn`t want promotion, the club said so and no returns` for the rest of eternity.
