    The accounts say we owe a significant amount of money to TB, meaning either TB would have to write that money off, or a new buyer would either have to pay it off or take on that debt.

    So with us, are we a big enough draw to get players to leave their current pl club and join us? Is that fact that we are a club that will be fighting against relegation when we are competing against better placed teams in the league with a better prospect of survival, so why would a player...

    This sounds a little like wage envy to me So you think that someone who is probably in the top 1% and probably a lot higher up than 1% and more likely to be 0.(lots of zeros)1% shouldn't be rewarded and paid the market rate but should only expect to earn the same sort of level of wage as...

    PL clubs held to ransom in fees they are expected to pay simply because they have more money available to them and everyone wants a piece? Would we have been able to buy Duffy for £4m had we been in the PL when he was 24 and still at Blackburn? or would they have demanded more?

    That's fine if you are doing an everyday job where your earnings (current and future) aren't in jeopardy from the risk of a single injury which could finish your career and that big money offer could be the only chance you ever get to earn that sort of wage. Football is also a short career...

    A player who has had 1 full season (35 games after just 7 games before that) has just sold for £50m to Man U. He's the sixth-most expensive defender of all time and the most expensive English player who was uncapped at the time of transfer If players are going for that sort of money when...
