Then he's the one with Rose tinted specs. Trying to call our bluff I recon.
Is it?

I'm sure TB wants some return on his(?) investment..
will any of the other directors chip in for better players, or get another sugar daddy?

We need:-
1 3rd choice goalkeeper to replace Ankergren (a released one will do)
2 centre backs - one to replace Greer and sign up Halford. Release Hughes and give Glen Rea a chance
2 left backs- Get rid of Bennett and Chicksen
1 right back
1 creative midfielder - Just to let Stephens sit back more
3 strikers (including one that will score 20 goals a season) - Sell O'Grady, Colunga and CMS and buy someone like Gary Hooper who will be surplus to requirements if Norwich get promotion.
Very expensive Mr Bloom but we need to pick up some freebies released from Premier League clubs.
I'd also like us to try and get Rajiv Van La Parra from wolves - Not needed when they have Sako and Dicko

Where has this mysterious statement of £10M owed to a bank as interest turned up from ? Funny how nobody knows anything about it.

Defining season in the next five year plan in my opinion. The majority of our play off squads will have left the club or will no longer be 1st team players. I think and hope we decided to tread water for a season whatever was said publicly. The 1901 renewals come up at the end of next season, we really cannot afford another stagnant season like this one.
Pretty clear where the priorities lie, I really hope we do not see any of the current forwards on our books remain for next season. Baldock is the only one that is even arguable for me and I don't see him as having enough to play up front on his own at this level. The rest either don't have the quality or the interest in doing so.
I'd like to see one high profile striker with a couple of young up and coming players either coming down from the PL or from the lower leagues or abroad or basically anywhere. Pace and power is what is dominating this division and is exactly what we lack all across the pitch. Our passing is as good as anyones but we have no out ball, teams press us high because we play in front of them.
Three central strikers and at least one wide player. A LB who can defend, plus a reserve who will actually push for a place, a younger CB who can compete for a 1st team place and a RB who can do the same. Goalkeepers and midfield are in pretty good nick.

Let's hope Tony has a good, long, chat with the executive team at Bournemouth on Friday. They seem to have managed to keep a promising young manager, playing excellent football, on tight crowds all within FFP and no parachute payments. You'd think from some of the posts on here that was impossible but it isn't. We've spent three seasons staring at Southampton's peachy arse when, all the time, another south coast side were demonstrating how to do it for real.

Think we will get 4 players that are what most would accept as decent the rest will be ageing journeymen/cast-offs

Agree entirely with this - I think we really just need those easy to get 10 a penny 20 goal a season men and preferably 2 of them. There that's not too difficult and surely nobody else will be looking for them . . . or will they ?
Hopefully CH has his eyes already on a couple that we don't know about.
The last times we've bought from the division below us ie CMS and Baldock they haven't exactly set the world alight so I think we have to bite the bullet and go for proven Championship (or Premiership) players who will be able to slot straight into the team and provide those goals
Agree with all of this, but I think we need a two new CBs, even if Dunk stays, as I'm not sure he is good enough.

Well sorry we don't all bow down to Lord bloom, it's just after years and years of shit we finally thought we may have something to cheer about....but no we bootled it and are now giving palace fans weekly laughs.

Is that more to do with the football we play as against the quality of the back five?
