Blame Sky, the 'sleeping satellite' in this conversation.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Should really be trying to stay up on the cheap and putting £35-40mill or so aside each season toward a new stadium. As it is we spend every penny of the £125mill or so we get now. A route to nothingness long term.

I know I am just an echo here, but if we improve facilities (stadium, training, hospitality, youth setup) etc year on year whilst finishing 17th every time I'd be happy because it ought to be a foundation for growing long term.

This is the key. The best way to improve the squad over the long term is to improve the growth of revenue outside of the TV money.

Totally agree but next season after 5 years in the Prem and £550,000,000 turnover (incl yanks £50mill) in that time we have achieved pretty much fvck all on all those fronts. Just don't think the will is there.

If we get the summer transfer window right we can do both. If you assume Cabaye and Delaney leave, then we are looking for starting 11 right back (moving Joel to backup for RB and 5th choice CB) and a starting midfielder. You then have to assume that Puncheon doesn't play every game and if he does only has one more season doing that at his age. So you need a starting 11 central attacking midfielder. A lot hinges on if Zaha, Townsend and Benteke stay. They could all be starters for 3 seasons at least. So you could potentially sign a top goalkeeper, right back and central midfielder for say 50 million, then use 10 million on cover for the wings and wherever else Sam sees fit. These players can be slightly aged, promising youngsters or simply players not good enough for the first 11 but still add depth to the squad. Do all that and enforce a transfer age limit of 27 and you can say that Winter transfer windows are off-limits besides loans and the budget for 2019 and 2020 will not be as high as 50 million. Basically, get it right and you put money towards the stadium and Youth System. Get it wrong like we always seem to and keep throwing the money away in January in the hope of surviving.

The aim must be to stay up. We're struggling now having been well and truly Pardewed. Stay up, keep Allardyce and finish 9th - 14th next season. This is the correct answer.

Personally I think we're standing still, and will continue to do so unless we attract a rich sugar daddy who will be able to catapult us forward. Just about all the top teams have rich owners who are able to finance real progress, not a group of fans who, God bless em, managed to dig us out of the mire in our hour of need.
