Better financial detail for the current situation is available via the echo breakdown or from swiss ramble (and in fact i just checked that source and the article you've linked has actually lifted directly from it in a couple of place - which is pretty poor). This could then be paired with likely wage levels for the coming season, and with estimates for player wages due to be leaving etc. Similarly we know fairly well what our revenue will be next season... Swiss ramble (6th may): The political economy of football (8th may) under a subtitle of "fire sale" (which it also wasn't 🤦♂️🤣). If they were going to be this lazy, they may as well have copied some of the analysis and views that have been bandied about on this forum. Apologies, but shit/lazy "journalists" really wind me up 😅. What is your view on whether we can bounce back? Personally think that financially we're in a pretty solid state and should be able to spend well whilst maintaining a sensible financial balance. Doing that efficiently will depend on Spors and his team, on hiring a good manager, and on marketing saints as a project players want to be a part of... Rumours the club is for sale won't be helping that. Edited yesterday at 13:19 by Saint86 2
Saint Fan CaM Posted yesterday at 15:42 Posted yesterday at 15:42 What does bounce back even mean? From the Championship to the Prem? From the utterly miserable strength sapping defeats inflicted by teams that are much, much better than you? There’s so many possibilities!

Lighthouse Posted yesterday at 18:33 Posted yesterday at 18:33 For those who must. Moderating this thread is like when they shear one of those sheep which had escaped and was living feral for seven years. 3
