Forest a similar sized club were in trouble with the same wages too, Everton the same, Brighton have to sell masses of players to keep going, Wolves are struggling and had to get rid of some of their top talent. With PSR many clubs are operating at unsustainable levels and with last year in the Championship and our loss of status this year income is probably much lower than previous seasons in the premier league.
The only way to start building again is to get rid of the mass of average and chronically injured (sorry Ricardo) players on massive wages and start again.
