For years we've blamed the board for every unpopular outgoing, and for not bringing in whoever was going to be the answer to our prayers (we tried but..), like its bleedin Football Manager, not real life.

So, now we've got CW who is being really quite open and honest about what we are doing, and why, and what we can afford, and what we can't. Its the boards job to give him a budget to work with, which to their great credit they have, and now its down to CW and his staff to get us players who want to come here for the right money.

If Gallagher wants £24k, but comes with the right attitude and skills, I'd pay him. But if we have other options who'd come for £15k, even if they weren't quite as good, then its down to CWs judgement. Just like buying a new telly. You can always spend more, but does it get you any more value?
