so we have gone from not paying a fee for a player, to taking players on loan, to taking free agents, what is next ? getting players out of retirement ?
Both Taylor and Diagouraga were free agents, as is Church so what is the issue with signing a free agent?
Nothing , just shows how far we have fallen[/quote
How far we have fallen from the bottom of league 2 to the middle of league 1?
I meant regarding monies available, we paid 300k ,400k, and 500k for players only 10/12 years ago
Fallen, or become sensible? How prepared are we to accept the position that the board have set out? That we don't buy success, we earn success. That we don't run a deficit on football operations, we live within a budget that balances cost and income? That we invest by generating a surplus and through allied commercial activity - the grandstand for example. That the aim is to over achieve on a balanced budget? I'm afraid I don't think that people have heard that message however many times the board have said it. And we think that gates being higher should mean we are stronger than other clubs in the transfer market. Well, not if they are prepared to chuck money at it and make a loss. And I am totally comfortable with us not doing that
