We’ve got players who are genuinely above this level, and while the wages have created a bit of imbalance in the squad, there’s still more than enough quality to perform well versus mediocre opposition.
Some or most of these players may move on at the end of the season, which is exactly why this year is important for us. Even with the deduction, a playoff push is within reach if we get things right on the pitch.
FFP means we can’t throw money at the issue (if we dont go up) even if the club wanted to, but that also forces the board to be smarter, build properly, and avoid repeating old mistakes. Otherwise itll be a return to the mediocre Levein style days.
