This kind of activity shows that we are not standing still and are working at all aspects of the "business". Also shows some business acumen applying for grants to improve the infrastructure.
FFP is based over a three year period, so we are under the cosh for a period while we balance the books after years of losses. At the end of footballing year we will offload some of the high earners; Gabby; JT (potentially), Bunn, Samba, Hutton, Snodgrass - either on loan or last year of contract. We may also get rid of some of the loaned out players; McCormack, Gill, Gardner, Gollini etc as well as get a substantial fee for Amavi.
While these reductions in the wage bill will be required if we don't go up, I can at least see that there is a strategy to deal with all outcomes - something that I never saw previously. Whatever the result of the season, I think that we will be in a balanced financial position and able to invest over the summer, either in the Championship or Premier League and I do get people wanting investment in the team, but don't see why we have to continually over pay.
The future's bright, the future's claret and blue.
