Be nice to know seeing as the rumours are the Merrycans have brought in Forensic Financial investigators as they believe there is missing money. A lot of missing money compared to what the books show. Sorry. Not ITK before someone asks how I know. [Post edited 19 Dec 2016 16:52]

I reckon they would prefer staying in the PL because to quote a cliche "That's where the money is".............I bet they're starting to getting rather worried at present?......Maybe feeling they may have been sold a three legged donkey i.e. A squad/team of rather questionable quality. Oh and add to that the potential of a supporter base that has the potential to turn extremely nasty? | ![](/images/avatars/10633.gif) |

That's what I don't get though. You're right - that would be the normal way to turn around a profit. They clearly haven't got a fecking clue about football though otherwise a. They wouldn't have needed to ask Landon for advice b. They'd have made funds available immediately at the end of the summer transfer window. c. They'd have replaced Guidolin with a better manager. I can't see that they will inject any funds and there's no way they'll have the saavy to wheel and deal in a notoriously difficult transfer window. What worries me then is their Plan B after May 31st. | ![](/images/avatars/9563.gif) |

There is no deliberate intention to relegate us. They want to keep us up as cheaply as possible. Reduce costs whilst keeping returns as high as possible. Presumably sell us on in a few years. It doesn't work if we get relegated. If also looks like they are trying to increase our profile in the USA I'm not sure if they overestimated the squad, underestimated the league, overestimated Bob or what, but the plan would definitely have been to stay in the PL. Now there is a very real threat of relegation, we see if they stick or twist. They either spend to try to fix the problem or cut their losses. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

They didn't have " a deliberate intention to push us down the leagues" butt. Their big mistake was to invest in something they knew nothing about. Their other big mistake was in thinking that HJ was the dog's bollocks where football was concerned. I think their plan was to be very hands-off, seeing as they knew nothing about the PL, leave HJ to run everything very successfully, and they could sit back, trouser the annual dividends, watch the club grow and then sell up for a big profit. Their last big mistake was not to realise that HJ had lost his mojo. Now, when we go down, they'll have to scramble about, selling everything that ain't nailed down. They'll still make a bit of money, probably. It's all very,very sad. | ![](/images/avatars/9181.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
