PS don't need to ask me anyway as club in form of Barber and Bloom have already effectively said yes to 1) , will skirt around 2) presumably for contractual reasons but given we've avoided relegation now then it's a moot point, and bleeding obvious that 3) "a squad that could compete for the...
Actually their ST prices are going up in 15/16, despite 75m of Sky/Bt money and then their cheapest are being reduced in 16/17 when they move to a stadium built by public money and their projected TV income will be 20x that of the Albion. No word yet on other prices. They might be on the Champ...
