I'm not sure this is right.
We have to be keener to get the high wage-earners off the wage bill. We'd probably accept peanuts (even zero?) for Euell and Skacel, as we save £500,000 per year just by showing them the door. However, I could see us turning down, say, a £0.5m offer for Lallana.
I also think we have obliterated so much of the wage bill that at some point - now? - we have enough slack to not have to accept any offer for any player.
I agree with those who say that the new set-up looks promising, but also with those who caution that three games does not make a season.
Overall, I think anything better than a relegation scrap would count as a success this year. Getting into - or near the play-offs - would be stunning.
