As we can't speculate on what's happening on the staffing side of the club can I throw this out there?
Were the extra seats a gamble on us being promoted and needing the extra capacity once we were promoted.. What if TB had spent whatever it cost on players?
There is an excellent chance that we could have secured auto promotion and then put in the extra seats using the windfall that we would have received on a few players and the stadium expansion, gambling that we'd have enough to stay up. If that had failed we'd still have the new seats and the parachute payments which would surely have put us in a better position than we are in now. Not that we are in a bad place at the moment btw.
Am I talking crap? I'm not a mover and shaker in big business so it's possible that there is something glaringly flawed in the above speculation.
Thoughts?
