We are a club with a very simple aim, survival and we will do anything in a vain attempt to achieve that.

Luckily that aim does not need any real planning you just end season with survival (phew!) Then start the next making a minimal investment and cobbling together a few loans with one aim survival

Does not need long term planning, just needs to be reactive of it looks like the town stuff is hitting the fan.

Speaking of fans just mutter stuff about wing in Europe in 10 years or promising them a shiny new stand - neither of which has much basis in reality.

Bread and Circuses keeps the people happy short term

Think about Brentford, Brighton, etc etc they planned and got it right

Fine margins, look at Brentford now. I think we have progressed but when competing with half the league having supreme wealth, we can only go so far.

It's worth the occasional effort

Their backers, no club, thats no club, generate enough money to buy players out of their income, all transfer money comes from the owners pockets or through player sales, Man Citys wage bill is 192m a year, plus transfer money, ground fees, police costs ETC, unfortunately Parish and Textor dont have the money, and Harris and Blitzer dont want to Pony up.

Aston villas owners have 17billion
Brighton owner Tony Bloom has 1.4billion and have sold well
Brentford owner Matthew Benham has about 300m, but they are struggling financially, but their wage bill is 25m less than ours.
If you notice the teams with the lowest financially wealthy owners are down the bottom, and vice versa, funny that, we are the only club that have bucked the trend, in some ways

Plus too many supporters live abroad and don't attend matches.

Wrong. Those reports put out by his “team”. Awful interview apparently
