I think you're taking NSC thoughts too seriously.
> Nobody on here knows what Bloom is thinking
> Nobody on here knows what budget Gus has been given
> Nobody on here knows what the players are being paid
> Nobody knows what targets Bloom and Gus have set for themselves /club
> We have...
If you can come to that decision based on two matches, one press conference and a binfest thread on NSC then I'd suggest you might want to develop your decision making skills.
So your figures could be tenfold reality ! As per my previous post - lots of people guessing about the money and making 1+1 make 5 or even some that claim to be in the know but really you all know f*** all about it.
So what data have you used to make these "guesses" ? Your in depth knowledge of football finance and contracts or a finger in the air or a bloke down the pub ?
What amazes me on this thread is the number of people who seem to think they're in the know around budgets and salaries yet can't agree. It shows they're all talking bollocks and have no idea what the budget is, what the salaries are or indeed what Bloom is thinking.
You don't build a premiership team in two seasons - even 3 or 4 ( just ask Cardiff who have got within touching distance a number of times ). I'd rather a slow plod towards the promised land while keeping costs under control that do it in 2 or 3 seasons and become another Pompey. Seriously...
