Iāll ask you same question I asked Pete ( HR) but heās yet to replyā¦
If passed budgets for your transfers are anything to go by letās presumably say you have Ā£150 million to spend in the summer transfer window.
Would you (1) like to spend it on Bellingham or (2) try and buy 2 or 3 players?
Obviously thatās based on alleged reports it might cost up to 150 million to buy Bellingham, personally I donāt think he will be that much but thatās another story..
The sensible answer is two players, but those two players would have to be high Enders, two decent players do not make up one potential worldy, IE; Ox & Naby could never make up a Steven Gerrard would they ?
Iām not too enamoured by the frugality of FSG, but then itās their frugality that has kept us as clean as a preacherās sheets for nigh on 14 years, their tight arsed mantra kind of worked pre covid, but we all know that financial goalposts were dug up and shifted thanks the likes of Chavs and your noisy neighbours, so the FSG model has become as useful as tits on a fish !!
FSG, or JW & Co are very clever and astute business men, they know exactly what is required to get us back on track, but the miserable Cnuts refuse to dig deep and prefer to just fondle their balls rather than reach for their ultra inflated cheque book,
For me though this is a defining transfer window for them, it will tell us uncategorically exactly what their ambitions are for us going forward, Iām not saying unless we spend north of Ā£200m this summer FSG should F**k off, Iām just looking for them to back JĆ¼rgen and provide the financial clout that will see us at least be dining at the top table,
If thatās too much to ask of them then for sure they should indeed F**k off, and keep F***ing off, back to Boston, their obviously not the kind of owners who will spend just for the sake of it, and they have a manager who is happy to work within their module, but that will only work if all the components are top of their game, and we have ample back up in terms of quality, only a third of this squad can live up to those parameters, and that simply isnāt good enough,
I canāt imagine JĆ¼rgen taking up arms against JW & Co, but even he would be asking Qās if this summer turns out to a bit of a damp squib, jeez, heās already performed miracles working on a shoestring budget, another thing they need to consider isā¦.If FSG canāt/wonāt match the ambitions of JĆ¼rgen I think JĆ¼rgen will walk before his current deal ends, only three seasons from now, not to far away is it ?
Truth is no f**ker knows what happens/happening behind the scenes, except those directly concerned, we can all speculate and talk Bollocks over and over, their (FSG) testing the waters theory has come from somewhere, so selling or part selling has obviously crossed their minds, in short someone has lit a fire under JWās arse, enough for him to at least consider his options, we of course will be the last to know if anything substantial should evolve, one thing though, it has to happen very soon if itās going to happen at all, only two months of this fu**ed up campaign left to run, i imagine by then we should be a bit more wiser , not holding my breath tho ??
