Oh and there's that little thing called FFP which is also preventing the amount of investment in the team that Moshiri may have wanted to spend this summer?

Let's say we sell Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin, we should get £100M or more for them. So who shall we buy? Who will come and will we be able to afford their wages? It seems it is not the cost for a player that is the problem but what we have found out and that is hurting us, is the outrageous contracts these players demand.

Bill Kenwright was to blame for the way the club was run, but we usually finished around the Top 8, and he always said we needed a money person for us to improve. He got us a money person with a not-too-silent partner and look where we are.

We have gone through managers every couple of seasons, each one leaving behind high priced signings on high wages who we can't give away, never mind sell. And now we have a manager who is left to pick up the pieces with very little to spend.

Let's not fawn over what other clubs do; let's see what happens, instead of speculating, when the season gets going.

Unfortunately, when it was our turn to "spend, spend, spend"... we were a bit like Viv Nicholson: we spent... but not wisely.

I don't think we'll be in a spending position again this side of Bramley-Moore Dock.
