The real Swaley
Vital Youth Team
So if the rumours are to be believed, mel has decreed that there will be a tight budget for next season, the wage bill must be lowered and any players in must be financed from player sales.
None of this apparently is down to FFP, but down to Mel realising he is pXXXing a load of money down the drain for no real return, the riches of the premier league seemingly as far out of reach as ever.
I for one forsee a grim reality, with the club stumbling about the middle reaches of the championship and only by some fluke will we see a chance of promotion. I hope I'm wrong but if you want to know what its like to have a local "fan" owner who runs the club on a tight budget, just ask Ipswich fans, for several season s their owner has run the club like that and the fans have ebbed away at the lack of ambition and crap football played.
