i don’t think the fans should be subsidising everything as is always the case

The fans are paying enough to watch premier league failure as it is. As with all these things it is a balance but when the club has wasted millions this season and certain people are being paid very large sums of money and we will doubtless sell a couple of players for £30m plus this summer anyway, I don’t think fans, many of whom are facing really tough times, should be asked to pay more.

There is no justification in my view to ask us to pay more next season whichever division we are in.
