That's what we have been constantly told one of the best in this league.
All based on speculation? Or fact?
Ok, maybe the question should be did he buy the best within his budget? Maybe!
Tudgay and Johnson probably ate up the main wage budget, the former here for a career boost/revival much like Clarke got, as for the rest after these two we probably got what we could pay for!
You get what you pay for, lets not forget most on here the last 2 days are critising a league one squad that lost to what was basically a premiere league squad.
Slaughtered the manager.
Slaughtered the team.
Slaughtered the youth players.
For what, looking bad against a top championship team, we are league one ffs, its not a blip, we have been for a few years now.
I hate it, i was born the year we were promoted to the top flight, and in all reality apart from from one magical cup run havnt really seen anything that makes me think we are or ever have been the "big club" a few on here see us as!
We are where we are, its no coincidance, 20-25 yrs of poor club management leads us to where we are now.
Jeeze i remember a guy running onto the pitch throwing his shirt at the dugout in disgust, we were shouting Milne out at the time! I was probably 10 maybe 12 going with the flow, didnt really understand what was going on but everyone else was shouting it!
Ring any bells?
Nothing has fking changed, just more money in the game and we are getting less of it!
