Surely the 49rs battle plan is clear now.
Spend little (or nothing) in the winter and take a (massive) gamble that we stay up. Then splash the cash? in the summer, when prices are lower and choices are higher. It's one hell of a decision and if it works thay are a genius - but if it doesn't! .
As well as gutting the supporters they are committing Hara-Kiri with their bottom line.
Somebody has already got the "6 pointer" in but Friday will give us an idea which way we are moving - MOT.

It's a measured gamble Leo, you could also say splashing the dosh is a massive gamble with your bottom line, if it doesn't work its financial carnage if you are relegated. All I would say is that during our run in December we were very happy with the players we have. Why all of a sudden are they not good enough or capable to deliver the goods?

Also will the players you have bought in the January transfer window hit the ground running with their new club, normally not.
Buying or not buying is all a gamble.

Buying is always a gamble. The ONLY question is how big?

They've played it safe and I respect it.
If a club burdens themselves with massive signings and wages, then gets relegated, it can sink a club for years and decades.
Whereas, if you have cash and go down, you can pretty much buy the cup.
Forest will be in trouble if they go down.

I think vid that it’s the performance in the last two games. The tactics and substitutions. Old habits that didn’t do well at begining of season, creeping in. The players have proved they are capable.
Did I hear Farke say that he thinks we need 9 points to survive?
He also mentioned the 4 positions we all know need improving.
A lot of contradictory remarks.
I do wonder if we had the money for Larsen why we didn’t strengthen on if those other 4 positions instead.

I don't know the state of our finances and how close to the PSR limit we are, none of us on this forum do, but if I had to choose between a new signing and the risk of sanctions like points deductions or no new signing at all, I'd choose the latter every time.
