Loads of them are now running at a massive loss

God knows what Wolves cash flow will look like at the moment, but the owner must be stuffing a load of money in this year.

It's easy to call for "investment" from our owner, but it's not an investment. We're asking the owner to stick in 50m or more that they'll never get back. And with transfer fees and wages as they are, what does 50m get you? One Dwight Gayle and Johnny Howson, once wages and fees are factored in?

All these owners are chasing the same pot of gold, but there isn't enough money in that pot for everyone chasing it. Wolves will be destroyed if they don't get promoted and the owner tosses his toys out.
