The issue is, from an orthodox reading of things we couldn't. However it would be almost a fire sale in an orthodox reading. Every problem is got around with Moshiri putting more in.
I suspect there is some contention about that, as it's not a logical way to run things. We all do this though, we assume how we might approach things is how Moshiri logically has to be (or other people). I do it a lot. People see the world very differently.
One thing I'll say, is that both Chelsea, and City probably ran cubs at huge losses (far beyond our, relatively speaking) for 5-10 years, but ultimately built an organisation that isnow worth multiple billion. I'm not sure how you grow an org to be worth around what say City/Chelsea are worth without adding a lot of debt in the short-medium term. If that was the plan it won't worry them.
I fully understand that there would be some anger at how mney was spent badly. However, you are really not going to choose Brands and Ancelotti, when we finally look on the brink of moving forward, to make a point that the club has wasted money so they get no more. It would be cutting off ones nose to spite ones face.
It ought to be added The Esk isn't the only one who's said the things he has, he's perhaps just the most well known. At some point people are going to have to stop with the "we are skint and have to sell" narrative, summer after summer, without ever really evaluating that after years of big spending, this may just be the new normal.

Interesting podcast that. They seem to value him a fair bit higher than what we are getting him for. A couple of stand outs for me, is that he is quite raw defensively and needs a fair bit of coaching to get better, but has a lot of natural ingredients. He is working under the perfect manager for this really. They also say he's a bit taller than is widely reported (6ft2 they say) and while I don't tihnk he's quite that tall, he does seem taller than what is billed. He should be able to improve in the air.
It looks a good signing. I'd have preferred Todibo, but Godfrey may be a safer option and more ready to play from next week, whcih could be required.

He wants blasting into space so we do not have to read the constant bull he comes out with, attention seeking pillock.
Good analysis. Number 4 would be massively high risk. Not saying we would never trade players because everyone does. It would just be a huge call to bank on it, particularly given risk of injury, state of Covid influenced market etc.
....I’m much happier with Godfrey than Todibo, especially from an attitude perspective.

We can have 30m from new sponsor on woman team's kit and each banner per 1m on the empty seat on match day by tomorrow lol
who are going to be our main centre back pairing. Holgate/keane keane/godfrey Holgate/godfrey and where does mina fit into all this
Know nothing about this guy apart from he looks rapid.
...I assume Ancelotti doesn’t like the Keane/Mina partnership and Brands has been trying to introduce pace since Zouma left, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Keane/Godfrey starting games in the very near future.
Mina and Holgate will have to be patient and grab any opportunity that arises.
Noticed that also some sites stating he is 6' 2 others shorter.
