I pray we can establish ourselves as a European contender while they are wrangling over the legalities and the paperwork.

At first I thought it was just another way of pointing out that we have spent a lot of money. But on closer inspection it was saying that this was our plan and that we would no slow right down when it comes to splashing out in the transfer market! We bought 5 years worth of players in one go so that the players can gel together and grow together as a team.
I have to say that I am highly impressed with this policy and that it makes more sense than spending the money slowly over the next 5 years.
Add to this the fact that we have bought a lot of players with Premiership experience and it seems pretty obvious that our owners are building not only for our future but also for now!!
My hat comes off to everybody involved in the creation and execution of this simple but brilliant plan.

That was always going to be our transfer plan, more or less.
Spend bigger early understanding that we mightn't get as good value but trying to create a platform for further growth. Every club that had money used that approach to expanding.

They don't want any interlopers into there cosy little club. Makes you wonder if the UEFA top brass are on backhanders.
