The problem is that if we take the deduction, we're 9 points off safety.
We arent playing well and with Hodgson in charge there's no guarantee that this is a blip in form and we will turn things around.
We could get to January (albeit with new owners) but what if Barca/Real /City come in with attractive bids for Torres, Gerrard, Reina, then I can see them going.
We could easily do a Leeds, Newcastle.
Surely, until we get a new manager, we need all the points we can get? Mill Financial have experience in sports and it wouldnt be in their interest not to invest in the team. They're probably just going to hold Hicks to ransom with the offer of a chance to screw NESV and the board over.
