In my opinion, he will try to maintain championship level football with the minimum expenditure that he can get away with. Parachute payments will reduce his losses, and he will eventually replace all our bigger earners with players from the lower divisions on far smaller wages. I believe he has accepted that he is going to lose a substantial amount of money by becoming involved with the club, recoup what he can, and call it a day one way or the other. In my opinion, we have a long struggle ahead, and I can't see us returning to the PL for a very long time. He has had his fingers burnt once, I can't see him doing it again.

If the club`s liabilities exceeded its assets by just £1 it would be technically insolvent but not "highly insolvent".
As they exceed its assets by nearly £66m as at 31 May 2014 I would regard a description of "highly insolvent" as apt.

I agree he's unlikely to try pumping cash to get into PL after last time. Staying put is actually best for all concerned. Makes the club more attractive to a buyer without mega money. Hopefully when parachute payments stop he will clear off.
At least the wages bill will be manageable by then. At least the home colours are BLUE!!
