Depressing then, that we are basically set up to fail.
Do you want to chip in your wedge to make up the difference?

Maybe because the football is seen by many to be dire, sterile, boring and predictable?
Last season, and possibly this season, it kept a clearly bottom 3 club (El Pres states financial facts) up. We should’ve dropped with Hudd, Swansea and (hopefully) Cardiff.
TB has bankrolled these first two seasons in a very prudent way (who can blame him), compared to almost all the opposition, so it’s no surprise that our first team ain’t much cop when we play teams bursting with quality.
Whether CH is sacked in the summer or not, it can never be held against him that he had a top 17 budget ... he patently didn’t.
I think we will win tonight( famous last words) and stay up.
I am not a Hughton hater, ( I reserve that for Brian Clough!!) but I am in the camp that believes he has his limitations as a Prem manager, regardless of budget.
Whatever happens, I wish him well.

ManU and Arsenal fans moan that their income is from arm’s length genuine trading, whereas ManC have cheated with commercial income at extraordinary levels from connected parties. I think they complain the most, because before Mansour started this 11 years ago, they had a fair crack at silverware and won stuff, so have been the worst affected by the cheating.
I’m not too sure how much of a say CH has in spending the budget. I get the impression that he’s given a list of players who meet the club’s criteria and has the last say, which could be the best of a bad job. Certainly the most recent major spends have been disappointing - I suspect thatCH is as disappointed as us but isn’t in a position to comment.
As for you feeling relaxed - I must get some of the pills you must be on!
Good point, how did Manure get such a strong Asian following in the first place which I know is a huge amount of their at arms length income? I really dont know that and would be interested if anyone knows
