We can't compete with Barrow in the transfer market and we were outbid in a big big way by Chesterfield.

I interpreted this as suggesting those players were outside of the wage structure that we want to stick to. You don't get financial security by offering silly money.

Exactly. Chesterfields tenure as a "money team" will be very short lived and if it doesn't work out they will be in the doo doo pretty quick. Rowe will be gone without the financial backing. Barrow are doing ok this season. Folks still need to remember one of the reasons why we ended up down here ( over spending on tripe time and time again).

Overspending is a problem for a lot of teams but it doesn't mean every team will fail. We keep going on about Chesterfield, Stockport and Wrexham will all finish up broke, I think it might sometimes be wishful thinking on our part. But the likes of Derby and Bolton have suffered so who knows, the championship sides are in a lot of danger as they chase the holy grail.
