I felt this was worthy of a new topic but apologies to the Mods if they feel it doesn't and want to merge with another one.
I have been thinking over the last few days and wondered what you other people thought regarding what is the most important decision to move us forward this summer.
Now I will give utterly hypothetical figures in these possibilities.
1. We are given a decision on the stadium which ever way they go either in terms of redevelopment or a new build...
Now for arguments sake we get half the money from a naming rights deal would leave us with a big figure still to find for the rest of the cost.. Say. £100 million..
Now let's face it that would come out of a potential transfer pot, from the money from Warrior and SC etc..
This would probably mean a very limited transfer fund this summer of any sales and say a token few million.
This would probably mean 1 or at a stretch 2 players coming into the squad on what we have got now and therefore expecting and needing the current squad to improve and some very smart scouting and signings.
Plus the kids supplementing and adding to the squad.
Or
2. No stadium decision and a big throw at the transfer market.. Not much point really guessing at figures but say the Warrior money, SC money, player sales and a bit extra from the owners.. So say 75 million to have a real go at making the CL and then looking at the stadium with that potential extra income..
And I'll throw this one in here as I'm sure a few think it's viable
3. A change of manager.
I personally would go with option 1.
We need that to move forward and I would be happy to challenge the squad and manager to improve us on the pitch plus having a season together. And challenging DC and Kenny to find some gems in the market to improve us.
I'd be happy with a slow build up to get us moving forward solidly.
Because lets face it we are not going to get both of the options together, we won't get a new stadium and 75 million to fund the squad. The owners rightly do are trying to run us correctly.
Thoughts?
