As things stand today I feel let down by the promise this summer held two months ago.

I'm calling BS on there ever being a war chest. I think Koeman was brought in with the club knowing we where losing Stones and Lukaku and needed a manage that can rebuild. Mahrez, Draxler, Wisel, Carvalho, Koulibaly haha c'mon!. The minute we got the Stones money we bid £30m for Bolasie, seriously... Bolasie. To think there was members saying lets bid £60m for Rodriguez hahaha.

Certainly haven't attracted the calibre of player we were hoping for, still time though and the lot we have will be in better shape under this regime.
I'm hopeful, boss speaks his mind and won't suffer fools, I like that.
Jesus Christ you are boring.

It's not our one and only chance. Mate you're talking like its the season we finished 4th under Moyes and we missed the chance of actually breaking the top 4 mold and getting ourselves access to prizes that had till this point been shut off to the rest of the league bar the big 4. The point of what he's doing is sustained success, not some one off feat. If we have to sell Lukaku or others next year then we replace them and build up from there. We are still looking to bring in 3/4 in this window alone. We are offering competitive wages for the next level of player after 2 crap seasons, 21 years without a significant trophy and nearly 30 years since we won the league, an unbalanced squad left by the previous manager and board, we don't have European football to offer, a couple of young hotshots who'd been left disgruntled with our previous campaigns. I understand people are frustrated but there's far more to look forward to then dwell on here.
I don't think we were waiting for the money to sign the players, just to drive the price up. City tried to call our bluff and they ended up breaking because they knew they had a deadline on their CL squad submission. They cracked and paid our asking price. The relevance of how much we got for stones still rings true. We didn't need the money there and then to ensure we don't break the rules but if we just rolled over and took their first offer then that would damage us long term plain and simple.
That's the reality of our situation, people thought this was going to happen overnight because we rode the crest of a wave when his plans got released. None of us work in the industry and so had no comprehension of how big the task was. Now we know, what point is there in moaning about it. It shows a complete detachment and denial of what we have to do and where we find ourselves

As you should be, its been an utter shambles from start to finish, but its done now, the gaffer clearly has a plan and he doesnt strike me as somebody that wont get it done.
We faced a reality sadly, the reality is that a club that finished 11th for 2 seasons cant attract the higher tier of player.
Stones was sold cos he wanted out, if Lukaku goes it will be for the same reason, I guess we have to watch with interest the next few weeks.

Why?, because it's not what you wanna hear. It's the reality of the situation.

A question thats just came to me regarding the STCC rules.
Say, for arguments sake we sell Lukaku AND Stones and then purchase players that only increase our wage bill by a small amount, do we carry that profit on to the next year? Or is that massive profit "wasted" in terms of STCC?
If my question makes sense.......

Your username always makes me think of this:
I was in a bad fire as a kid. I was saved by a very brave fireman. No idea why I chose that name though.

You do wonder if the Bolasie figure is even real. It could be the club trying to make it look like we have spent more than we actually have.

Pretty sure it can just carry over.

surely profits from a sale only relates to the financial year it took place in?

Or its real and have just overpaid for a player worse than anyone in the league.
