I was buoyed by that statement. I don’t care what anyone says, breaking a wage structure for a player like Calvin Miller would have been ridiculous. Whether the owners are relatively skint or not means nothing as we can only go on what we know so far and what we know is we’ve not heard one thing relating to not paying suppliers, players, staff, HMRC etc and certainly haven’t heard a grumble about anything else from people within the club.

We don’t have a Mullin, a Tshimanga, a Madden or indeed a Miller but I’m not entirely sure we need them. We know we have a competitive squad, a squad that is much more balanced and sustainable than we’ve ever had for a long time. Time we stopped worrying about the ‘competition’ and just be grateful until proven otherwise that we have what on the face of it appears to be a sensibly run club.
