Let's cross that bridge when (or if, rather) we get there.
Regarding Rafa's spending, let it go. Just because Hicks and Gillet claimed, they spent 300 million pounds on players, doesn't mean it's true. Lying was sort of their game.

Not only did they not even spend 200 million, the net spend was under 30. The last 2 years yielded consecutive NEGATIVE net spends, and the year before Rafa had to MAKE money 2 summers in a row, we placed second. Following that, the team's performance dropped. Not an excuse, it's just what happened.
