Expand As far as it's a bit harsh comparing our youth involvement with Spurs, or Liverpool, Citeh and Man U for that matter, you have to hope some of these younguns we've bought over the last 2 years can show a bit. The club's mentioned have had decades over us but we need some successes. Even if it's to, ultimately, flog thrm 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Feels like a lot of people are just living in a state of denial about how the PSR situation is unfolding. It's definitely frustrating and it's completely anti-competitive but the irritation has to remain with the Premier League for this asinine set of rules designed to keep the top teams at the top. Throw all the vitriol their way, they deserve all of it. The truth is that there doesn't really exist a viable incoming transfer that can be done within our severely restricted set of circumstances. I can only assume Howe will have known all of that and will have to accept it in the short term. If not, there is a bigger communication issue than we know. The only way forward is to continue making incremental progress in squad building until we are able to have a major increase in revenues - new stadium, perhaps - or until there are needed changes in PSR. I hope it's the latter but it's probably going to be the former. We can complain all we want but the reality is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The only way Eddie should have a real problem with what we've done this month is if the internal expectations of him do not align with our approach and the realities of our situation. If this is a necessary and/or strategic reset of our finances then he also can't be judged too harshly if we fail to qualify for the CL or win a trophy. There's no reason to think that is happening.

Whitley mag Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I suspect Eddie would have done things differently a couple of summers back if he’d been given the full picture re PSR. Last summer losing Anderson in particular will have been painful for all concerned, lessons have been learned and I’m confident under Mitchell where in good hands.

Expand I think that's fair but it's a distinction without a difference. We're only capable of truly improving our squad by signing players of a pretty high level, and they're always going to be unavailable or too expensive for our lack of "headroom" in January imo.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I'm not mad that we've not spent on a perm this January, it's more irksome for me that we've not looked to secure any loans. We saw with Targett the benefit in doing it, but we're asking the same group of players to give it all again with another promise that next time it'll be better.
