There is an argument to say we have around the 4th largest budget in the league and that is where we are.

It is actually refreshing the teams above us haven't spent as much as others, because its about how you spend it and getting value.

I don't have a problem with Jenkins being tight with cash, because I don't want us to be in a position where we risk everything for promotion and then have financial issues in the future if it doesn't happen.

I do have a problem with him sacking a manager with no clear plan in place for the aftermath. This game-by-game position is creating uncertainty and every defeat will bring stinging and deserved criticism.

What has happened to 8 consecutive premiership seasons money considering we never spend on players or managers if we can help it. The ones we do sign are in the last chance saloon, or last pay day brigade.
The club has always been tight, but never this tight.
We win the championship in 2008 and i never saw the trophy, Peace refused to have a parade or bring it around the pitch, he stuck it in the club shop and charged fans a tenner to see it. Can you believe some fools actually paid that?
We sold a feckin turnstile to someone once.
But in those days we were on the up, now i can't see anything other than a downward spiral.
Lai makes Peace look like Abramovich.
