Bigger clubs than us are in the same market to acquire Turnbull and Kone .
Twenty years ago we competed at this level because we had a brand , Hignett , Dyer , Sheron and Shipperley etc came here because we were a club who had a very good Championship brand , we had gates of 17k plus , paid the wages and had a PL season behind us .
We aren't at this moment in time anywhere near the level we were 20 years ago .
The truth is in the modern world of championship football we are nobody's .
Give it a couple of seasons at this level and some progression and it maybe a different story .
