Be a shame because he is high quality. Maybe it is even him or Curtis but not both on the wage bill?
If the Eisners cant afford to keep Curtis and Jacobs who lets be honest are league one standard players. We are only going to head in one direction and it aint up. I'm struggling to understand why they purchased us if they are not prepared to fund it properly. If we are not challenging at the top end in this league, its inevitable that gates will not go back to pre-covid levels and income will fall even further. Their ambition to be self sustainable might be admirable but without intial investment, it wont happen, unless we strike it lucky and develop a couple of Jude Bellinghams, who can be sold for millions. Even then to get the big bucks for players, we need to be playing in the Championship not league 1 or god forbid league 2.
You're right. The Eisner's need to invest a small amount or sell to someone prepared to put some money in.
I really don't think they still understand U.K. Football & how the finances work.
They seem more intent on pumping money into trying to rebuild FP.
