A Brit tabloid says Woy wants more t/f scratch

I think he's just letting Mo and the supporters know that he hopes to be active in this summer's market. Roy isn't a big January sale guy, preferring to blend his acquisitions in during the pre-season. We are not in anywhere near the sort of crippling debt that has hammered West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton, and Portsmouth -- primarily because we've never hired a spendthrift thug as manager [hmmm, who do those four clubs have in common?]. It's precisely because we DON'T splash out big transfer fees or salaries that we don't

a. have a dominating season or two followed by
b. years of debt and financial shenanigans.

Bournemouth were almost points deducted out of the league. Southampton dropped a division because of their irregularities [had it not been for their sugar daddy savior, they might have gone completely out of business this season]. West Ham face "Armageddon" if they get relegated [so say their porn king co-owner], and Pompey just got a 30-day reprieve from being the first Premiership club to go into administration. All of this happened because each of these clubs [and who do they have in common again?] spent themselves into some serious form and achieved some short-term success.

This quick fix stuff is not for Roy or Mo, but the fact is that we've taken in more money than we've spent out, and we're having a successful season income-wise -- attendance, cup successes, etc -- and Roy knows that if there's ever going to be any money available to maintain our current stability, it'll be there this summer.
