unbelievable

We are in a precarious position and if you ask of the pundits they would say we are very likely to get relegated. None of us want it but will it happen maybe and that is me being the infernal optimist. What he has said is that he needs to sort out the FFP position if he didn't and we went down we may have picked up a points penalty and then would we have criticised him, yes. There was never ever going to be a big money signing and maybe there were better playrs than  Maji out there, I don't know and only time will tell.

After reflecting on yesterday events my take is:

King was overpriced and chose Everton. No loss in my opinion
We thought we had King and offloaded Kebano and AK. Huge mistake. Liked Kebano but not premiership standard and he will do well in the championship. Always liked AK, probably in the minority, and he could have helped the cause.
No opinion on Maja. Wish him well
MLM was not going to play anyway
Good riddance to Seri

So the real question is whether Maja is an improvement on Kebano and AK. One positive is Mitro should play every game

Does TK think the squad is good enough?

Tony Khan knows the team will probably go down without EPL quality reinforcements this season.

Or I could be missing something.

Tony Khan is spending all this season's remaining money on the amoritzating the book value of players not getting game time.

Tony Khan made the right decision to spend the money on "amortization overvalued players", rather than loaning in a "new striker". He has learnt that bringing in Babel and Nordveidt was a mistake when the money could have been better spent on bringing in Hector and Kongolo for the first half of the Championship season instead.

how do you know either of those things?
However you look at it, staying in the premiership is the most lucrative thing we could have done.
I think you are not correct in your analysis, and to be honest I am not sure I know what "amortization overvalued players' actually means. we kept poor players, some of whom are injured that will be little use in the championship if we do not get in quality forwards.
the ex fulham player that is hardly tearing up france, has been brought in on loan.
are you suggesting TK has thrown in the towel already, no interest in making a fight of it.
If so we honestly do not need hiom and his dad needs to take a deep breath and get rid.

If you don't know what "amortization overvalued players' actually means", then how can you say that Tony Khan has made a huge mistake by "amortization overvalued players" rather than bringing in a Striker.

FYI, "amortization overvalued players" is the DOF decreasing the "book value" of Seri from £10m to about £4m now.  The "book value" is the lesser of the cost of amortization remaining (i.e. £10m for Seri) or his actual resale value (Seri is worth around £4m or less).

In summary, "FFP amortization is how the big clubs", ensure that the small clubs keep their crap players and sell their good players every season. Tony Khan is not the problem, working within FFP makes it very hard to move from yo-yo club to 17th in the premier league.

Holding the core of this team together and improving with the players we have is the best long-term strategy. TK transfer window gets 10 out of 10 marks from me, as I don't want to see a sell-off in the summer.

I didn't say TK had made a mistake  regarding the book value of the players, i said I didn't understand the term you used as applied to what we are talking about.

Taking your definition at face value, and I do comprehend it. Then what you have said is theat TK has completely mmismanaged the squad to the extent we cannot manage to purchase a single player in this window. That is my iunterpretation of what you wrote. Because he alone waste d £100m and we continue to pay the price. Plus he purchased an injured center half again and managed to retain a vastly over sized squad rather than getting rid of the dead wood in summer.

I repsect your opinion that you think he is brilliant. I juust cannot see it because not having the wherewithall to buy a forward, after buying an injured and unnecessary centre half, strikes me as mismanagement. That is why we need a properly experienced person and not a failing amateur in charge that would have got the boot anywhere else. And I have said often, he would not have got an interview anywhere else, let alone been given this job.

I like the idea of TK being part of the club management, it would  speak well for our future, but not in this specialist role. Time he moved aside.
