Sustainable?
Remind me how much clubs get for promotion? I seem to remember reading £170-200m if they get rlegated again and more if they stay up, without ticket price rises and a sold out stadium for every home game?
I assume the owners are just happy to pocket that and take their chances with the current squad having invested about 10% of it on new players?
It's the business model adopted by clubs like Norwich. Remind me how much clubs get for promotion? I seem to remember reading £170-200m if they get rlegated again and more if they stay up, without ticket price rises and a sold out stadium for every home game?

Saints fan here. Hope that you find someone who can galvanise your players and squad and start getting a few points on the board. Other teams have come back from 9 goal defeats and not been relegated (twice 
) and your players will certainly pick themselves up this week and hopefully the caretaker boss can get a lot from them
Good luck

Wondering if Gary O’Neil should be given a go for the rest of the season, seems to have steadied the ship well since Parker departed.
A bit of a wibble from our Gary but we're stuck in the middle of a takeover so seemingly can't get anyone in. He's made sub strange subs and tactical decisions in the last three games, the latest yesterday when 2 up against Spurs...took off Billing and we capitulated, sat far too deep and invited the onslaught.
That said I'm not unhappy with our points total and performances bearing in mind we were odds on to go down. We're really waiting on the takeover to be finalised, hopefully in time to dip big time into the Jan transfer market.
Amazing. I've done the last three aways, Leicester, Spurs and ' them down the road' and three victories, which is a first at this level. Thurs was brilliant for various reasons. We'll have bragging rights over our quite patronising close neighbour who seem hell bent on getting there 'proper derby' with Pompey.
Today was nuts. A typical Leeds performance where they could have scored 5 but have a defence who play like 9 year olds who simply can't concentrate on the job in hand.
