villan-scott Posted August 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think we're in for an exciting climax whatever happens. They're still pushing for deals, and there's bound to be a few loan opportunities crop up on deadline day. I think we will land 3 or 4 more including loans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr X also doesn't seem short of a few quid. What inside info have you got that makes you think we will have no money next year if we are promoted? None i'm just apprehensive about what happened before with Lerner he was enthusiastic spent a hell of a lot of money when he first came in got nowhere run out of steam and lost interest. I'm not saying Xia is anything like Lerner but when he was here we were at least a prem club and had that TV money there as a safety net to offset some of the losses. Worst case scenario and we don't reach the promised land (promotion) in the next few seasons we will have an astronomical wage bill by championship standards and have spent a lot of money. I don't know how much Tony is worth nobody does he may be super rich and able to take any of the losses on the chin but didn't he say when he first came he said he wanted to run the club like a business which would mean he's looking to make a profit on us in the long term? I guess business is about taking risks and he is taking risks gambling on us getting promoted i just hope it happens, fair play to him though i'm enjoying the roller coaster Edited August 29, 2016 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's far safer to assume he's not at peak fitness and is therefore nowhere near Hernandez's levels. The last photos I saw suggest he might not be far away from peak fitness. If he's nearing peak fitness then I'd still say he is a better striker than Hernandez. Edited August 29, 2016 by Michael118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
