The BBC says that one reason he has moved was his desire to win more trophies. Nothing against him, I think he's done this as a model professional, and I bear no ill will at all. But wouldn't it be great if we actually win more than Liverpool over the length of his contract. Pipe dream maybe...

Wasn't too long ago we were saying we would never realistically be competing for Europe, and not a lifetime ago we were saying that the Premier League looked unlikely!

Only three clubs we have never finished above in the League in our entire history. Man United, Arsenal, and yes, Liverpool. Not really a 'sideways move' - however much we'd like it to be. However, I do think it's a move to a 'rival' next season - which isn't something I ever thought I would say.

It'll be interesting when we're competing with Liverpool for fourth place towards the end of next season....

The actual article says 'in excess of £45m', rather than 'in the region of'. Sounds like £45m plus various add-ons, possibly of around £10m to get to the £55m cited by Naylor.
