We've heard endlessly from the club about the need to adhere to Financial Fair Play. Will the action (or lack of it) over the transfer window be regarded as Financial Fair Play for Customers when next year's ticket prices are announced?

It's the right thing to do I suppose but just so annoying after years of shit, we finally get the stadium, close to the big league and have to act like paupers when so many clubs our size will/have enjoyed some time in the PL. Maybe our time will come or maybe we will miss the boat who knows.

Queue the don't forget how far we have come brigade!

No idea, but you can be sure that had the club overspent during the window, ticket prices would go up even more.

Can you not at least wait to see how the squad performs over the rest of the season before criticising?

I think Tony Bloom should be spending far more than 8 million a year of his own money to gamble on us being promoted. I mean what has he ever done for us?

Are we the only club to have stadium costs wages and bills...no, and others seem to manage to buy enough talent to get promoted, not sure how and know it could backfire but after years of no real success just jealous maybe.

I don't think it would have taken that much more in the summer to make the step up from last year a little gamble?

The moaners are really out this morning. We are standing better now than in the last 30 years. We are doing well in the league, the cup, the ground and training facilities about to happen. Stop moaning.

Or like Leicester build a new stadium and then go into administration and shaft the builders.

Can't believe so many on this board want us to spend millions each window - go and support chelsea!

We are doing it the right way, invest into the academy, blood youngsters, and get some good players on the cheap.

We will see the fruits of all this sometime in the next few years, and when we do go up, we will stay there.

Are you going to renew if we don't get promoted?

After 30 odd years I don't want to support Chelsea but would love to finally have some success and to stop being our biggest rivals laughing stock!

Any loss is from Tony's pocket. Why should he lose anymore of his own money ? I'm just glad he is still prepared to lose some.

Thanks Tony, it is appreciated.

You feel the need to resort to tell me to '**** off', I rest my case :lolol: You go and invest 100m+ into the club then I'll take you a bit more seriously.

Your attitude is the reason that football is essentially screwed. You're happy to spend someone else's money but along with the OP don't want to carry some of the burden yourself. Your sense of entitlement stinks. With TBs financial support we are building a long term future and possibly decades of success. I'm loving the ride but then I'm not an imbecile.

Didn't say it wasn't appreciated it's just that the investment seems to mean nobody is allowed to want a bit of success, we are supposed to say thank you over and over again from our padded seats and think how very lucky we are, I mean no other club has it any better than us we are truly blessed.
