Competitive top half budgets are mostly made up of parachute payments.

I don't mean those clubs tbh. QPR got the likes of Charlie Austin, Adomah and Johansen and they haven't been in prem for nearly a decade now. Also added good loans in Jan like Jeff Hendrick and Dion Sanderson. Of course London plays a part but you also have Blackburn spending god knows what on strikers and they've been in league one more recently as we know.

I think most important thing in future is if a current first teamer goes for 7-10m as likes of Robbo and Hugill have in last 5 years then a decent amount of that gets re-invested into first team squad as that obviously wasn't happening in later part of Hemmings reign and the whole squad stagnated as a result.
 
Marcus Forss could be someone to look at for next season. Hasn't quite broken through at Brentford given what's infront of him but scored 11 in 18 for AFC Wimbledon last season and currently on loan at Hull City.

I think that's the key really. Try to sign Archer type from prem team e.g. Liam Delap and also get in someone experienced in championship. Then with Riis continuing to develop and Evans as plan B option that's a decent enough forward line.

Proper reinvestment is definitely what we’ve always been lacking. That has to change from now on if we’re to progress rather than regress.

Given our turnover we could have £2-3 million extra a season, anymore and we’d be breaking FFP rules.

Just for a bit of fun then....let's say the potential takeover goes through and Lowe gets a competitive top half budget to play with (which certainly hasn't been the case at any time since the club returned to championship in summer 2015).

Who would be the ideal statement signing for you? It dosen't have to be incredibly realistic but you never know in football. Who thought McGeady would pitch up here a few months after playing in euro 2016 but that happened and also Davies signing for league one team in 2013 when he'd been capped by England two years before.

Main criteria is they either have to be playing in this division or prem and not to have played for PNE before as too lazy to just say sign Iversen or Archer on permanents (as brilliant as that would be).

Someone like Adebayo at Luton would be brilliant pick up as that's the sort of guy who could fire you towards top 6 as he's doing with Luton but he'll be in premier league with a team next season.

Dwight Gayle could be more realistic perhaps finally.

Who could we sign on loan from someone at our level or above?

As with Davies, he left to further his career. As poor as WBA have been this year, they’re still a better bet for promotion than we are

That’s before we even consider wages

I bet it pissed him off to see us go above WBA in the table though. 😂

Archer and Sepp need another season in the Championship. Iversen could play in the Premiership no problem. Hopefully Gerrard and Klopp see it the same way and keep them here.

Apparently we pay for Klopp's vpn so he can watch us on Ifollow.
