Austin, Baldock (the 5ft7 BIG MAN) who else do you want to buy that is unproven at prem level?
Milky had 42m to spend overall, 10-15m to get promoted. Ole is going to have considerably less, Ole is going to have to be astute in getting the right striker for a bargain price because of the mess left in front of him
Mackay was ambitious yes.
Not really much of a mess, we should walk the championship with this squad.

Our squad is good enough, we just beat Southampton away, it is just they haven't done it often enough.
Caulker and Medel have been two of our best players this season yet Mackay gets criticized for buying them.
Maybe he spent money where it shouldn't have been spent, but Caulker for 9 odd million is a bargain considering his potential and resale value. Yet people continually say he wasted 35 million. No, no he didn't.

For me Caulker and Medel were good buys but it comes at a cost, when a striker was clearly our main priority, don't get me started on Cornelius. If we didn't dick around with Ince and Capoue we'd have got Medel for considerably cheaper and had about 5-6m for a proven PL striker like Hull did with Long

he doesn't know what he's talking about, we got a striker that got 7 in 12 when not fit and playing for defensive Malky but we somehow need better in that league

There is a decent chance but there's always time for discussion. I always remain an optimist and would hate to see us go down, it'd pain me. But just wondering
