To put matters into context, according to internet, Ipswich spent £2.48 million (£1.9 million net) in the season they got promoted from League 1 in 2nd place and £4.6 million this season, which seems them currently occupying top spot.
Factually correct, however, I think the Tractor lads were in a better place than us as they had slowly built over several years. We had 5 players 2 summers ago, threw together a squad on no money that almost did the business, changed half the squad, again on a shoestring and have promotion in our own hands. More than half the squad are out of contract this summer and, for next season should we be in the SBC, we'll see 10 or more leave and be replaced, IMO.
