Given that money is not our actual issue, but PSR/FSR potentially is would there be any benefit in just taking a hit?
Everton breached FSR by £16.6m and took a 2 point deduction for it, so there is a precedent set.
If we were to breach FSR to bring in a key player (say a Striker) would the points they would potentially gain us actually be greater than the potential penalty?
The issue is, is there a player which would be relatively cheap enough who could pretty much guarantee enough points to risk it.... bearing in mind that the difference in prize money in the Prem, and going all the way in Europe is significant, I believe the deadline is 30th June so winning the Europa would net us around £16m prize money, each place in the premier league is worth about £3m, in theory would could gain £20m or more, it would not be crazy, I know it is a lot of ifs, ands, buts, and maybes....
