It's an opportunity cost issue. If we use up all our cash on a gamble that only partially pays off or worse we have set back our progression. This is a huge leap of faith, worth making but certainly not at any price. There are alternatives, for example buy three cheaper players and anticipate that one will overachieve. A balance must be struck. Impatience is simply that. It looks like Liverpool are using every trick in the book but two can play at that game and our Board has some pretty good experience.

Very good post,but in reality,the club has received huge funding from American investment,tv money and significant funds raised from the sales of Gayle, McCarthy,Bolasie and tonight,Jedi.
Surely,given our lack of even one reliable striker at the present time,is it not unreasonable and indeed vitally important, that some of these funds are not reinvested in at least two quality strikers.
To make comparisons with the Golberg era and the demise of the clubs you mention is slightly misleading,in view of the totally different financial situation of Premiership Clubs today, but we are all entitled to an opinion.

So if you spend money then you stay up? Like Newcastle did last season?

Sh1te manager was why they went down. Did you not notice how if they changed manager 2 weeks earlier they would've stayed up?

The Australian fans are going to get the glory and push this over 300. Aren't getting much glory in the Olympics so gotta get it somewhere.
