I did moot the idea back on here prior to the Derby game. I'm talking about last season?
Last season or any of the previous 10 seasons, Art will have fancied us for the drop.

Bacuna, Diakhaby, Mounie, Pritchard, Kongolo, Mbenza, Sobhi.... Thats approximately £72m of singings that the club owns ( SEVENTY-TWO MILLION!!!!! ) , none of whome are good enough to hold down a regular starting place, even in this team, and most of whome have contributed precisely fuck all. Tell you, Dean Hoyle taking back a lot of his money is a side issue as to why we are where we are and how the benefit of reaching the prem has been lost. By the time those 7 players leave the club, we'll have lost well over £60 million on them and thats not even including the wages, agents fees etc 7 players costing £72M in fees alone, I wonder how many years it took Town starting in 1908 to spend that amount on all the other signings made ? 100 years ? Longer ? Have we even got there prior to these 7 ? As you say that's without wages, agents fees, bonuses and the like which will take the total over £100M and realistically what are we likely to get back for them ? £10M at a push ? Earlier in his role as Chairman Dean Hoyle turned down the chance to sign Ricky Lambert for £1M on the basis that while he would be a good signing with goals assured his age meant that it wasn't viable as he wouldn't have any resale value. Although disappointing at the time it did make sense, is even though he proved everybody wrong firstly by scoring the goals to get Saints up, at our expense, then by joining Liverpool in the PL, in fairness to DH we did get Jordan Rhodes. I don't know what say DH had on these 7 but if the same logic was used to sign them as potential Jordan Rhodes' rather than taking a risk on more Ricky Lamberts it's 3rd Division thinking that's likely to put us back there. At the time - that quote from Hoyle made no sense. It was a stupid comment. Hoyle said too much sometimes and was left looking a bit daft.
