- interesting listening to the Wednesday fans saying winning games is pointless! If they get a 21-point penalty then they will be bottom of the league. If they got the 12-points these fans mentioned then they will be just above relegation.

If we do go up, chances are, we will be back in the same position within a few seasons as we know that it is notoriously difficult to stay in the Prem.

And we have to remember that our costs will have gone up massively - playing in the Prem attracts a premium on wages and clubs do not insert clauses into contracts that state your wages reduce to Championship levels upon relegation.

It's of the greatest importance that we either

a) sell to some billionaire and become their play toy - and we've seen how difficult that has been, not only to attract them but to verify they are what they say - or
b) we remain conservative in our spending and don't jeopardise the club while more-than-likely having a hard time on the pitch
c) gamble everything to get into Europe - and we saw what happened having done that before

Our underlying debts also need covering and we need to consider long-term infrastructure improvements.

The Prem is where we want to be for so many reasons - but we have to be realistic about it

Billionaire?...PSG bosses are watching, would they not have enough?..

I think you'll find the reason they're looking at Leeds is because off Europe, PSG have won everything in the French league but they don't do much in Europe!..

The Premiership is a much stronger league and you can bet if PSG played there they'd be a lot stronger then they are, a reason why their bosses are looking at Leeds, they know the fan base Leeds have and the way a club should be run!..

You want to know if they're rich enough, ask the 2 players they bought which with that money they could have bought most off if not all of the Championship!..

Hopefully we don't get anyone like that because its not a nice tag to have paying for trophies, much rather do it the Leicester way!..

Do you think that is much for a Premier league club?..

I'd think if we get there we'll need more just to stay there!..

I agree, and even that's to much, but compare them against others and they're spending small!..

Its said that teams that make it up need at least 100m just to stay up, I know Premiership payments help but even so, its a price any have to pay!..

I still think I'd prefer to do it their way than the likes of ManU, City, Chelsea and more who I think and I stand to be corrected, have spent much much more!..

I'm hoping that someone has a global strategy for LUFC merchandise and gaining fans to contribute to enhanced income. With Bielsa producing such good football, we should be really hammering Asia with marketing
