I know there's bigger problems on the table, but this still sticks out to me:
"An agent who has dealt with Blackburn regularly over the past decade says that, while the McGuire case was clearly extreme, any negotiation with the Lancashire club is approached with the acknowledgement that an agreement may ultimately be vetoed once it has been passed on to India."
If I imagine a World where we escape relegation, win the Court case to ensure future funding from India, get the Wharton/Raya money for investment, and then go into a vital summer transfer window to rebuild.
We're then in a cutthroat and ever competitive transfer market, with a wallet considerably less than most, and a stench like that wafting around us.
It's almost an impossible task.
Just grim.
And that's the optimistic version. Reality is probably lost Court case, all transfer funds swallowed up.
