For obvious reasons he felt he couldn’t continue to do this and we needed a new way of operating hence changing the recruitment policy. We still lose money now.
I'm in agreement with the concept of the transfer policy and the way the club is run barring one thing- Why on earth we didn't we sign a couple of experienced Championship players last summer? That's all i want, It's common sense surely. Give me that and I can say hand on heart that I'd be far happier because I believe it would give us a much better chance to succeed in this division and also help our youngsters develop quicker. Staying in this division would keep the 7 million TV money coming in every season and has to be the objective.

Unfortunately they won't deviate from the rule that they've set and unless there's some sort of miracle in the next few weeks, it's gonna cost us relegation twice in 3 years, thus the loss of 14 million pounds TV revenue.

It's like sending a workforce of inexperienced labourers to build a skyscraper. Nobody in their right mind would do that and not expect any repercussions.
