Stump up in what sense though? I think we could pay him what he wants but the stumbling block surely comes when Jokanovic finds out how much money he'd have to spend imporving the squad. All he needs to do is take one look at us and see that he'd need at least £50m to turn it into a top 6 side. The squad we have and the squad Fulham had and finances when he took over there way exceed ours.
Stump up in every side - wage, transfer budgets, etc.
The Chinese have got the money so as long as it doesn't affect FFP, we should go for it. If he still rejects us then we move on, but we should try.
I don't disagree with you. How much money do the Chinese really have/how much are they willing to invest? Clement had very little to work with in the Summer and Stam had virtually zero in January. I am hoping it is just because they don't trust the person spending the cash but I am a little concerned they won't give the funds needed to make our team a top 6 Championship side again.
They're billionaires, so they've got the money, there are just rules against spaffing it all.
We spent the most we ever have in 2017, so I'm assuming that 2018 was an attempt to even the books up a bit. I'm sure in 2019 we'll have a bit more to spend, especially if we get rid of the deadwood.
