Any tiny chance, even a glimmer of hope that this significant cut costing, removing big wages, not appointing a CEO yet, etc is all part of preparing the club for a sale?!
Close your eyes and imagine the day.....
A striker is actually critical. Ohashi is good, will get goals as will Gueye but not as many but we need more. If one is injured, we're in big trouble.
And none of the Β£3.5M will be used for transfers. The (sensible model) of buying cheap and selling at top price only works if reinvested into playing squad. We never do. As fans, we shouldn't be happy if any of our first team go, regardless of price...
One major trend every season is that we always have a sustained slump of games in the second half. This is down to having a poor squad - as soon as injuries hit, we can't replace with any quality (coupled with poor January transfer windows). We need a better bench.
