I like most of you are excited about the possibility of our club reaching the premier league next season, playing in blue and a new ethos.
However - can we realistically compete or are we looking at a season of being the whipping boys of the league forever in the doldrums and written off before a balls kicked?
1 - investment - the fees being paid at the top level across the world are beyond belief your historical £2m player is now inflated to £5-7m which once got you the level up. Now we’re taking £15m plus for a decent step above so to revamp the first XI could cost £100m+ is Tan prepared to invest now we’re back in blue?
2- players - is our existing squad capable of premier league - we’ve punched above our weight all season, and for me our current squad would only contain a few PL club fringe players, perhaps Paterson, Morrison could start with Etheridge, Bamba, Manga, Hoilett, Ralls being bench warmers at any other club.
Interesting to see your thoughts
