Now lets see if the money spent will keep us up. Personally I would spend money to aim at mid table. then if we fall short we will still stay up. Lets also see if they do build an academy, and hire the right people to do the deals work with FA correct
rules and paperwork, buy some new office equipment and a completeley new staff that is free of the last 4 years of craziness

Give colin some help with a comprehensive scouting group of his choice, and quickly. We must have two good centrebacks.
They are hard to find and expensive. what we have is not the answer. Dltto fullbacks. .Danny wasnt good enough to
keep Watford up. Now he could help us go down also.

Does anybody want a decent malaysian striker? Safee Sali, he's going to Germany, a Div 2 team, I think, stocky, low centre of gravity, only 50 million cheaper than Tevez
