Oh, one more question - we know that in the championship that investment was needed to cover losses - but in the Premier, is that extra £30m a season more about club/squad development rather than covering running costs? Obviously the two are linked, but in simple terms, is this investment not...

Absolutely. And for the avoidance of any lingering doubt, this is most definitely not a ' put your hand in your pocket Bloom' thread - his contribution and commitment is incredible. No, I'm just talking about a significant increase in the rate of investment, that would spike on that graph, ie a...

No, I really never said that we 'needed' major investment. Reread my post. We don't need it, but that's not to say that it isn't a smart tactical move to invest more now. We absolutely should move towards less reliance on TBs funding, but perhaps paradoxically, that can happen in parallel...

I would expect nothing less from the club than to do all of those things that Barber says, and I hope we do. But it certainly doesn't rule out TB investing more money in the club when the time is right to do so.

Is it clear? Quite the assumption to make, didn't think you liked people making assumptions judging from your posts on other threads. It may be that he does want to invest more and is waiting for the right time to do so. It's also not doubling the wage bill, it's increasiing the top end...

Agree with your point entirely, but that isn't really what I'm saying about a' settled team'. Every Potter season the first choice 16 or so has been quite different at the end of the season than the start of it' because we're developing and blooding players. So the settled side aspect of my post...

No, to pay Bissouma, Cucurella and maybe others already here £100k per week.

I actually disagree, the point of major investment now would be to keep those stars to play alongside the developing youngsters, giving us a settled first team for the whole season. Selling and reinvesting in potential would keep us on the path of being a development club - which is fun and...

The thread is certainly not saying that the club needs major investment, if you reread my OP. What it is asking , is whether this is tactically a very good time to significantly up the investment, with the potential for future rewards. Where the investment may come from is definitely a valid...

There's an adage that the best time to strengthen from a position of strength. Having just finished 9th, we've never been stronger in our history. So is this the summer for major investment in our squad? Ever since Potter arrived we've been essentially a development club, bringing in young...
