Weirdly after all the excitement,  when the dust settles for the winner...there's not much left for Usyk to mop up,  Fury only really has Joshua who he can claim to have beaten vicariously and is a bit of a risk for not too much glory for him.
So....conspiracy theory.. I see a draw and a trilogy.
 

Head over heart, Fury on points would be my guess too @Alph They're both technically gifted and natural fighters, but the height, reach and most critically, the weight advantage will surely be to much for even Usyk to overcome.
Assuming Fury turns up fit, I think he uses that huge reach advantage to keep Usyk on the outside most of the fight and uses his size and weight to smother Usyk anytime the Ukrainian manages to plant his feet. I think that's the percentage call, as while you'd love a stand up sort of fight (they are both wonderful technicians, after all), this has all the makings of a messy one instead.

I know this will trigger some people! But I was reading Simon Jordan's book and he talked about Palace's promotion to the Premier League and all the riches that awaited. He then dissected all the promotion bonuses he needed to pay, all the fees for players with add ons, then the agents on within an instant asking for an increase in wages, then the additional costs for being in a higher league. Before getting into buying new players who want more money because they know they are needed to take you to the next level.
Obviously it's a different scenario but as the link @oldben sent shows, all the clubs who compete with the parachute payment clubs are pretty much spending more than their turnover on players/players wages 
It's a pretty desperate picture for an owner and I really hope fans aren't going to start to turn on Clowes if/when he doesn't fancy throwing away many more millions of his own hard-earned cash.

Yes, that would surprise me as an aspiration.

Holding our own, being hard to beat, staying clear of relegation trouble. Anything else would be a bonus.

He'd be the perfect sidekick for my alter-ego, Captain Hindsight.
Between us we'd have everything covered.

Keogh is a club legend. Much more so than Curtis Davies.

Mel had Derby's best interests at heart.
He invested a ton of money,  tried to make us big-time, bought players we previously couldn't have considered and when the managers failed to get us up....he walked away tens of millions of pounds poorer with nothing to show for it when he didn't have to.
PS We are now in a better financial place then most other Championship teams.

Tea is the juice of the devil.

Chris Martin was a selfish player, lazy, always diving, no work rate, slow as a cart horse and everything went through him.  With a better striker we wouid have gone up.
