Hardly a ringing endorsement for going up playing that way. If 40 points is "scraping" to safety, what word would you use to describe achieving 11 (Eleven) points?

(although the calculations aren't as simple as 'sell £xm,buy £xm'.) One thing Mel did say was that almost all his worth was cash in the bank, rather than assets, he talked about meeting other super rich people who would struggle to write a barker type cheque. Makes me wonder about the ST Rich List, and how accurate that is, as it is based on what assets the individual holds rather than cash reserves. I'm sure in his initial plan, we'd have a far larger income now than we currently do, wouldn't blame him for reigning the spending in a bit, not sustainable for him or us in the longer term.

toddy Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 How can we justify letting Hughes go for £5.5 million bargain move to Watford? The word 'bargain' is used in the speculation, is there a private deal going on between the two clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't deny that. It's long been accepted that 40 points and you scrape free. 11 points is dropping out ingloriously. Anything between 20 and 30 would be a massive punch to the gonads, but 11, you can't even make that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
