A thread. For you #twitterblades digging out the board for a ‘lack’ of investment. What is it you actually want? @Saudi49er and the board have:
1. sanctioned £100m+ of loan fees/transfer fees the last couple of seasons (so far)
2. Pushed back on any of our players leaving

3. Are buying the facilities from KM and investing in shirecliffe
4. Have kept season tickets ridiculously low for prem football
5. Are operating in a pandemic with no match day income, £20m lost to date with unknown sums to lose this season.

6. Haven’t taken a penny from our supporters for this season. A number of clubs have taken ST money for cash flow
How many here would write a blank personal cheque? The club needs to stand on its own two feet. Anything outside of that is gambling on the clubs future.

We’re catching up as a club from years/decades of underinvestment in the whole club. That doesn’t come for free. And I’d quite like a club to go to in years to come thanks!
I would love extra quality, but as with any business, there’s a budget and it’s down to the management team how and where that goes within the confines of what is affordable. #twitterblades
