We might have a big budget for this league. Who knows what every clubs' budget is? I understand the scepticism though. I don't like the "shopping at Harrods" "same budget as Huddersfield" stuff that TS comes out with.

However not signing Moore does not necessarily mean a lack of ambition. The asking price could be more than he's worth to us. Money might be better spent elsewhere.
We dodged a bullet with Stevie May. Posters complained because we didn't up our bid to get him. Stubbs got one thing right in advising TS that he didn't think he was worth a higher bid. Unfortunately Stubbs' back-up plan (Blackstock) was even worse.
