Tbh I always thought we’d beat the charges aswell but I’m of so sure we will as we look to be looking to a diff future by not making major signings and bringing the kids in.
Just rest assured any connection is not guaranteed it would be your reading of the situation.
However, I get it and think the same over last 2 (not saying reason we didn’t get Bellingham/ Rice etc.) but again it could be the reading of a situation.
However, you play it out and our option is we are so confident in our position that lawyers have given us 90% plus chance, that we are happy to fully spend whilst having get out clauses in contracts that if it goes wrong could cost us.
Or, we think we still have a great job and once this is over we are in such a stronger position to buy players, it makes sense to wait this season out.
It doesn’t mean our position on winning is weaker just we are being realistic and playing the hand we have been dealt.
So don’t worry, could make for a great transfer window 25/26 and lots of piss boiling!!
