Why not just go all out for it?

'Vincent Tan is worth an estimated $1.3bn and is Malaysia’s ninth richest person, according to the Forbes rich list.'


Why not just throw in £20m, sign players from low end prem teams who are passionate. Give them bonuses for promotion, not high wages. They've got the chance to earn some cash rather than rot away on the bench but they got to put the effort in.

If we go up, we have a team full of decent players and VT can take his £40m out of the promotion prize money. He can then get his share of parachute money when we go back down.

Im not being funny, but if hes worth that much, £20m isn't much tbf. Its worth the gamble.

Paper worth. As in valuation as a point in time of share worth etc.

Doesn't mean he's got the odd 65m down the back of the sofa...
