He'll be allowed to leave on a free transfer if they go down. They've also had a thirty million pound bid turned down by Lille for a guy named Sven Botman. These guys aren't playing around. Does that sound like a club that aren't flexing their financial muscle?

I don’t know. They’re obviously going to give it a shot and see who they can buy, but that’s a bad team. It’s a 4-5 year project kind of thing and guys like Trippier aren’t going to be there for the end of that and still be contributing factors.
