I'm of the opinion we're hiding behind FFP rules. Rather then holding out hands up and confirming we have no money. Even the small sums we're raising on transfers and salary savings are nowhere near enough to give Carlos a war chest. The coming season is a coin flip, if our academy lads come good and we push for a play off place great, if not it's going to be a long season.
I'm concerned about the BS that were investing in the academy £1m - when Stoke are pumping £11m into it's academy. Was the £1m a gimmick to try and appease some. Certainly wasn't a statement of intent.
Early days yet but the new owners honeymoon period is up.
Unless reasonable investment is forthcoming I don't see Carlos hanging about - why would he.
