If you're short of money then you don't get in 2 goalies, certainly not when the rest of the squad is so thin.
You had a great scout there, I'm surprised nobody else tried to poach him. You should never have given him the poisoned chalice of being manager as he won't go back to scouting for you and without investment you need to scout lower league players.
Sisu should have given him the money earlier then you may have signed alf.
Their 'investment' is basically covering losses though, cutting wages appeared to be an easy way of doing that, did they understand football fans though and the inevitable result from those cuts.
Are they any better off than if you had brought in a couple of players?
You probably would be.
