Having heard SP on the podcast talking about asking shareholders having to put money in for the last January window, and hinting at fan involvement in the money for the stadium, it does beg the question.

I utterly support the overall goal of not having what we can't afford. We cannot go back to the old days. We are pinned by FFP from what I know.

I get the feeling we are close to being unable to buy a lot more, without more investment.

This could be an interesting summer.

The part about fan involvement was not about helping financially but helping to put pressure on Sainsbury', so we can expand.

I think financially we are sound.

We spent the most out of the entire premiership in January. We now have two forward players earning over 100k a week and andros probably on 80...thats nearly a million every 6 weeks let alone rest of squad and we are expected to improve rest of squad. Not many other smaller sides are spending this much. Bournemouth for example earn just as much if not more for finishing higher and they don't have super salaried players like Zaha or benteke... We are already punching above our financial weight.. Fans need to not expect improvements on puncheon and ward and just hope....

They will be in same boat soon. Steve Cook will want more to stay as will King if he scores at a higher rate than Defoe (which he probably will) and Ake if he joins
