To an extent your correct and its that balance that is difficult to achieve. Still, it's quick cash as opposed to waiting for the fickle fans to return.

Can't see too many arguing against "getting our house in order" but equally numbers of attending fans will dwindling if we are not challenging. It's a sad fact but City fans (particularly the younger ones) have become accustomed to relative success and aren't prepared to take a little pain for long-term gain

I don't think many fans will return until Tan goes, and if he doesn't get a buyer before he pays the debt off (another 4 years) perhaps by then they won't come back full stop.
I hate being negative and I hope the club give us something positive, a win today and a striker coming in before Wednesday could at least give us some hope. Then it's down to Trollope and his team, after all that is his job.

Yes maybe different reasons or motives but if you are running a business or addressing your finances and they are not in shape, the first thing is to get them in order. It might be because of previous mistakes, you might have to make sacrifices you don't want to ( David Marshall ) but ultimately if your house isn't in order then firstly you can't move forward and secondly the repercussions will be more severe than the other option.
We are weakening our team but every cloud has a silver lining and opportunity for others.

They spent a fortune last season and continue to do so. Will they get sanctioned later this season or am I missing something?

Good post Chris
Get our house in order, but at the same time some of it has to be speculated so that we still succeed and we need a striker NOW
Tan caused the mess, no more blaming others
Tan has run our club for 7 years that's long enough to put our house in order.

Vincent tan has never taken a single penny out of this club that is at present a FACT
He has also agreed to write off the remainder of the debt over 4 seasons meaning he's further out of pocket
Don't understand why people write this tripe when it is as far away from the truth as it can possibly be

agree I hate Tan for what he did with the rebrand but apart from that he is sorting out the mess Sam/Risdale etc left with all the overspending. He has committed to saying we will be debt free within a few years and making the club self sufficent as the saying goes "short term pain for long term gain"
Alot of posters are only blaming Tan for the mess we are in now because he did the rebrand I guarantee you if he didn't do that then there wouldn't be as much hate towards him for the mess we are now in
