That's true. But if we signed this lad from Rennes and a right back. And it costs us 35 million. Does that make us stronger or just the same level before we sold Gordon?

But that’s the decision we’ve taken, you sell Gordon on the basis of reinvesting and improving - I wasn’t an advocate of it - but that’s the decision the club took, you can’t abandon it half way through and just admit we’ve got worse - there will be a riot.

We also don’t exist in isolation, Leeds, Bourmouth, Wolves and Southampton have improved and dropped money, we are currently weaker. If we do nothing we are dead, if our recruitment team have made made us weaker by poor decisions and planning tomorrow they needed rooted out of the club.

It’s unacceptable.
 

I'm not advocating 'going with what we've got' but currently the names linked have been totally uninspiring.

There's the prospect/gamble of spending 30 to 50 million today on two or three totally unproven, unknown, un heard of players in an attempt to get us out this mess. But it all screams pure desperation.

I know we all want better options, but I'm not seeing any names that improve this squad- they will only put another 50 million pound hole in our books.
We are desperate though. The squad as it is is almost guaranteed to go down, we need options at the very least. This isn't like recent deadline days where it's a case of weighing up whether it's worth taking a risk that might move us from 10th to 8th, this is a situation where the players we have categorically will not score enough goals to keep us up, and we need to bring people in who might.
 
When Lampard was sacked they zeroed in on two managers who have brought teams up from the championship. They hired the one who requires less investment. They gave him a 2.5 year contract. They are giving him no new players.

Board is planning to go down and then hoping to get back up for the new stadium (if it gets finished - that is where any money we may have is going)
